Abstract

The battery charging device contains at least a first charging battery, at least a second charging battery, and a control module parallel-connected to the first and second charging batteries. The control module contains a control unit, a detection element, and a switch element. The control unit is configured with a current threshold. The detection element detects a total current from the first and second charging batteries. The control unit triggers the switch element to disconnect the first charging battery when the total current is greater than the current threshold. The control unit then triggers the switch element to reconnect the first charging battery when the total current drops below the current threshold.

Claims
