  • Patent number: 8513923
    Abstract: The present invention provides a battery charging control circuit to charge batteries in phases. In a first charging phase the charging circuit charges the batteries with a large current and at a second charging phase the charging circuit charges the batteries with a much smaller current. The charging circuit includes a current detection circuit which detects a charge current and provides a detection voltage proportional to the charge current. The battery charging control circuit also includes an amplifier circuit to amplify the detection voltage and a comparison module compares the amplified detection voltage with a reference voltage. If the amplified detection voltage is lower than the reference voltage, the comparison module outputs a switch signal to a control module. The control module controls a charging module to charge the battery in a trickle mode when receiving the switch signal.

  • Patent number: 8089251
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a battery charging control circuit. The charging control circuit includes: a constant-current charging unit and a trickle charging unit. The charging control circuit further includes a branch switch, a control unit, and a detection unit. The branch switch is connected between a power source and the rechargeable battery for enabling or disabling the constant-current charging unit. The control unit is between the constant-current charging unit and the branch switch for controlling the branch switch. The detection unit is used to detect a state of the rechargeable battery. If the detection unit detects the state of the rechargeable battery is correspond to a predetermined state, then the control unit controls the branch switch to disable the constant-current charging unit and enable the trickle charging unit.

  • Patent number: 8035348
    Abstract: A battery overheating protection circuit includes a thermal resistor samples the temperature of the battery and converts the temperature into a temperature voltage, a comparison circuit compares the temperature voltage with a reference voltage for judging whether the temperature of the battery is higher than the maximum reference temperatures temperature or not. If yes, the comparison circuit outputs a protection signal to drive a charging module to stop charging the battery in the charging process, and to cut off the conducting path to draw power from the battery in the discharging process. The present invention sets two different maximum reference temperatures during charging process and discharging process by a reference voltage module, which makes the maximum allowable discharging temperature is higher than the maximum allowable charging temperature.

  • Patent number: 7843084
    Abstract: An exemplary electronic device capable of automatically selecting a power source includes two power ports configured to connect to external power sources and a battery compartment configured to receive a battery module. The voltage of the battery module is higher than at least one of the external power sources. The electronic device further includes a power selection module allocated between the battery module and the power port which selects the lower voltage. Three diodes are respectively located on the output path of the three power sources. A path switch that controls whether power to the device comes from the battery compartment or a power port is located between the anode of the battery compartment and the diode located on the output path of the battery module. Among the multiple power sources, the external power source providing a higher voltage is the first to be chosen to power the electronic device.
