Battery automatic continuous rapid charging circuit and method

摘要

An automatic, continuous and rapid charging circuit for a plurality of rechargeable batteries and method thereof are disclosed. There is provided a power supply section; a power source switching section for selectively supplying the charging voltage to one of a plurality of batteries; a switching control section for supplying switching control signals to said power source switching section; a battery detecting section; a charge completion detecting section; a display section for displaying the charging operation of the batteries; and a microcomputer for performing the overall control of the system. According to the method of the present invention, a plurality of batteries are sequentially detected as to their placing for charging, and are successively charged, by using a power supply with a power capacity required to charge only a single battery.
