CHARGER-DISCHARGER WITH EQUALIZATION FUNCTION USING BOTH CONVERTOR AND MULTI-STAGE VOLTAGE DOUBLER RECTIFIER CIRCUIT

摘要

The present invention addresses a problem of providing a charge device capable of charging electricity storage cells while eliminating a voltage variation among the electricity storage cells without a need for at least a circuit section playing a role in voltage equalization among the electricity storage cells to be designed to have a large current capacity, and a problem of providing a charge-discharge device constructed by additionally equipping a discharging function with the charge device. Provided are a charge device and a charge-discharge device each of which comprises a convertor, an input circuit, and a multi-stage voltage doubler rectifier circuit. An element in the convertor configured to be applied with a rectangular waveform voltage is connected to the multi-stage voltage doubler rectifier circuit via the input circuit to thereby realize a voltage equalization function, and an output section of the convertor is connected to the multi-stage voltage doubler rectifier circuit to thereby realize a charging-discharging function.
