Abstract: Features are disclosed for charging a battery using a power supply in series with a diode. A power supply can be connected in series with a diode to restrict an inrush current resulting from connection of the power supply with a battery. In some embodiments, the power supply can further include a plurality of power supplies to restrict the amount of inrush current a single power supply can provide. In other embodiments, the power supply can also include a bypass capacitor that the power supply charges before supplying current to the battery. The power supply can regulate the amount of current that is applied to the battery and prevent inrush current from damaging the battery. Multiple power supplies add to overall reliability.
