  • Publication number: 20240396355
    Abstract: A control device of a charging device performs constant current charging, when starting charging at time t0. When the SOC of a battery reaches a set value ? at time t1, the charging current is limited to gradually decrease. When the battery voltage VB of the battery reaches a charging completion voltage VBb at time t2, charging is terminated. When the charging current is small, the polarization is small, and therefore, the charging completion voltage VBb can be set to a value corresponding to the full state of charge, to charge the battery to a state close to the full state of charge without relying on CV charging.
