  • Patent number: 9509160
    Abstract: A fast charging terminal is provided, which includes a battery, a USB interface, a switch module, a supply voltage detecting unit, a central processor, and a charging management unit. After the USB interface is connected to an intelligent charger, the switch module is switched on when the supply voltage outputted by the USB interface is within a safe supply voltage range such that the charging management unit converts the supply voltage and the supply current. The charging management unit decreases the supply voltage and increases the supply current to charge the battery.
