Abstract: Battery recharging devices include a power port, a user interface module for receiving a user input, a charge profile generator responsive to the user input for producing a charge profile, and a switch for enabling a current to flow to the battery based upon the charge profile. The charge profile is associated with a set of charges that are adapted to be applied to the battery during a user-defined time period. The set of charges comprises a first charge adapted to be applied to the battery during the user-defined time period during which the battery does not recharge. Methods of recharging batteries are also disclosed.
