1. An electric generator control apparatus, for controlling an electric generator that is driven by an internal combustion engine and that supplies a charging current to a battery, wherein said electric generator control apparatus comprises:

  • voltage control means for setting a target voltage value and for controlling an output voltage of said electric generator to maintain said target voltage value;

    current control means for setting a target current value and for controlling an output current of said electric generator to maintain said target current value; and

    control mode changeover means for selectively establishing a voltage control mode in which said output voltage of said electric generator is controlled by said voltage control means to maintain said target voltage value and a current control mode in which said output current of said electric generator is controlled by said current control means to maintain said target current value.
