  • Publication number: 20110057616
    Abstract: A battery charging circuit includes a power input unit for supplying power to charging units and a control module. Each charging unit includes a connecting port for connecting one battery, an electromagnetic coil and a switch module connected between the connecting port and the electromagnetic coil. The connecting ports are series-connected with one another. The control module is used for monitoring the voltage of the batteries and then controlling a work state of the switch modules by means of comparing a voltage variance between any two of the batteries with a specific data set in the control module so as to make the battery with a greatest voltage discharged to produce a discharge current for secondarily charging the other batteries by means of the electromagnetic coils when the voltage variance is greater than the specific data.
