CHARGER INCLUDING A DC-DC CONVERTER
First Claim
1. Charging device (2) for a motorised appliance (8), the motorised appliance (8) including a battery (5) and items of equipment (7a, 7b, 7c), said charging device (2) comprising:
- a first conversion module (3) adapted to convert an alternating input current into a direct current having a first voltage;
a second conversion module (4) adapted to convert adapted to a direct current having a first voltage into a direct current having a second voltage that is lower than the first voltage;
a switching module (6) connected to the first conversion module (3) and to the second conversion module (4) and adapted to be connected to the battery (5);
the switching module (6) being adapted;
in a charge mode, to supply power to the second conversion module (4) and the battery (5) via the first conversion module (3);
in a use mode, to supply power to the second conversion module (4) via the battery (5);
the second conversion module (4) being adapted to supply power to the items of equipment (7a, 7b, 7c); and
the second conversion module (4) comprising a SEPIC converter.
