Abstract
A method for charging a battery (16) from a direct-current source liable to significant fluctuations, which includes the steps of:
- progressively charging a storage capacitor (14) at a voltage that is higher than the nominal voltage of the battery (16),
- detecting a predetermined voltage threshold over the terminals of the storage capacitor (14), and
- discharging the storage capacitor (14) into the battery (16), the discharging being controlled by the threshold detection.

9. A method for charging a battery (16) from a direct-current source liable to significant fluctuations, comprising the steps of:
-
converting the DC voltage from said direct-current source into a DC voltage which is higher than the voltage of said battery and is applied for progressively charging a storage capacitor (14), detecting a predetermined voltage threshold over the terminals of said storage capacitor (14), and discharging said storage capacitor (14) into said battery (16), said discharging being controlled by said threshold detection. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
