Battery Charging Method and Device
First Claim
1. An apparatus for charging a battery, comprising:
- a constant current circuit,a constant voltage circuit; and
a control circuit;
wherein the control circuit is adapted tocontrol the constant current circuit to perform constant current charging to the battery;
after a battery voltage during the constant current charging reaches a preset charging limited voltage, control the constant voltage circuit to perform constant voltage charging to the battery;
after a charging current during the constant voltage charging becomes smaller than or equal to a predetermined threshold, control the battery to be charged by pulse charging until an open circuit voltage of the battery is larger than or equal to a preset voltage threshold.
