Title:
【発明の名称】充電装置及び充電方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JPH0813169
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A charging apparatus includes a microcomputer which turns a transistor on so as to supply a charging current from a constant current source to a battery pack incorporating a secondary battery. The microcomputer counts a time required for increasing a battery voltage of the secondary battery, which is outputted from an A/D converter, by a predetermined value, and predicts a time during when the battery voltage will be subsequently increased by the predetermined value. If the battery voltage is not increased by the predetermined value within a predicted time, the microcomputer determines that the battery voltage reaches a peak value thereof and turns the transistor off to terminate a charge. The charging apparatus is suitable for a rapid charge of Ni-MH batteries.
