BATTERY CHARGING APPARATUS AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A battery charging apparatus, being characterized in that,the battery charging apparatus comprises a power adapter and a charging control module, the power adapter charges via a communication interface thereof a battery of an electronic equipment, the charging module is built in the electronic equipment, and both the charging control module and the battery are coupled with the communication interface of the power adapter via a communication interface of the electronic equipment, and the charging control module is also coupled with electrodes of the battery so as to detect a voltage of the battery;
- during charging the battery, the power adapter first charges the battery in a regular charging mode;
when an output current value of the power adapter falls within a regular current range for a predefined time period, the power adapter performs a quick charge inquiry communication with the charging control module;
after the charging control module sends a quick charge command to the power adapter, the power adapter adjusts an output voltage according to battery voltage information fed back by the charging control module;
if the output voltage meets a quick charge voltage requirement predefined by the charging control module, the power adapter adjusts an output current and the output voltage according to a quick charge mode so as to charge the battery, and the charging control module simultaneously introduces a direct current from the power adapter to charge the battery.

Abstract
A battery charging apparatus and method. The battery charging apparatus comprises a power supply adapter (100) and a charging control module (200); during a process of charging a battery (300), the power supply adapter (100) charges a battery (300) in a routine charging mode; when an output current value of the power supply adapter (100) is within a routine current range at a preset time interval, the power supply adapter (100) communicates with the charging control module (200) for quick-charging query; after the charging control module (200) sends a quick-charging instruction command to the power supply adapter (100), the power supply adapter (100) regulates an output voltage according to battery voltage information fed back by the charging control module (200); and when the output voltage meets a quick charging voltage condition preset by the charging control module (200), the power supply adapter (100) regulates an output current and the output voltage in the quick-charging mode to charge the battery (300), and at the same time, the charging control module (200) introduces a direct current from the power supply adapter (100) to charge the battery (300), thereby achieving the objective of quickly charging the battery (300) to shorten the charging time.
