Method and apparatus for a remote battery charger with a self contained power source
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus for charging a battery, comprising:
- a mobile energy device configured to store energy and deliver the energy to the battery as a function of a modulated current charging pulse without using a readily-available power source; and
a current source configured to generate no voltage and configured to generate the modulated current charging pulse at a resonant frequency of the battery as a function of a charging parameter, the modulated current charging pulse being delivered to the battery and configured to enhance cell mobility of the battery regardless of a voltage of the battery and enhance acceptance of the current charging pulse such that the battery has an improved charging time.

Abstract
A battery charger with a self-contained power source which provides a current charging signal at or near the resonant frequency of the battery to be charged when no other power supply is readily available. A storage energy device, for example a battery, delivers a current charging signal modulated at or near the resonant frequency of a load, or stores energy from a source.

14. An apparatus for charging a battery, comprising:
-
a mobile energy device configured to store energy and deliver the energy to the battery as a function of a modulated current charging pulse without using a readily-available power source; and a current source configured to generate no voltage and the modulated current charging pulse at a harmonic of a resonant frequency of the battery as a function of a charging parameter, the modulated current charging pulse being delivered to the battery and configured to enhance cell mobility of the battery regardless of a voltage of the battery and enhance acceptance of the current charging pulse such that the battery has an improved charging time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
