  • Patent number: 8791670
    Abstract: A battery management system includes a power converter, a first switch, a second switch, a first detecting unit, and a CPU. The power converter is configured to divide current provided by the power supply into a first and a second output current, according to a working current of a system load in a normal state, the first output current is used to power the system load, and the second output current is used to charge a battery unit. The CPU is configured to determine whether the value of current detected by the first detecting unit is greater than a threshold value, and further controls turning on the first switch to power the system load using the first output current, and turn on the second switch to charge the battery unit using the second output current.

  • Publication number: 20120043925
    Abstract: A protection circuit for protecting a rechargeable battery is provided. The protection circuit includes a voltage-threshold generating unit and a comparing unit. The voltage-threshold generating unit is for generating a threshold voltage. The comparing unit is for comparing the threshold voltage to the rechargeable battery voltage and outputting a charging enable signal or a charging disable signal according to the comparison result. The comparing unit outputs the charging enable signal if the amplitude of the threshold voltage is lower than that of the rechargeable battery, or outputs the charging disable signal as the amplitude of the threshold voltage is equal to or higher than that of the rechargeable battery. A battery charger apparatus using the protection circuit is also provided.
