1. A power adapter, comprising a communication interface, whereinthe power adapter charges a battery of an electronic equipment via the communication interface;

  • during charging the battery, the power adapter is configured to;

    first charge 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, send a quick charge inquiry instruction to the electronic equipment, wherein the quick charge inquiry instruction is configured to instruct the electronic equipment to determine whether a voltage of the battery reaches a quick charge voltage value;

    after receiving a quick charge command sent by the electronic equipment when the voltage of the battery reaches the quick charge voltage value, adjust an output voltage according to battery voltage information fed back by the electronic equipment, wherein the quick charge command is configured to instruct the power adapter to enter into a quick charge mode; and

    if the output voltage meets a quick charge voltage requirement predefined, adjust an output current and the output voltage according to the quick charge mode so as to charge the battery.
