摘要： A battery charger is disclosed for use with various batteries, such as automotive and marine-type batteries. In accordance with an aspect of the invention, the charging current is alternated between non-zero DC charging current levels. By alternating the charging current between non-zero DC charging levels, the battery can be charged to a higher capacity (i.e., ampere hours) faster, thus reducing the charging time and at the same time allow the rating of the battery charger to be increased. In accordance with another important aspect of the invention, the technique for alternating the charging current can be implemented in both linear and switched-mode battery chargers.

摘要： The present invention discloses a battery charging device adapted to be connected to a battery having a positive and a negative terminal for supplying a direct current to the positive terminal of the battery. This device comprises an alternating current supply means, such as a transformer, connected to a power supply for providing alternating current, such as a wall socket. A charge current supply controller means is connected to the secondary winding of the transformer. The charge current supply controller means comprises two pairs of silicon controlled rectifiers ("SCR") and a SCR interface circuit. The secondary of the transformer is also connected to the SCRs. A processor which is connected to the SCR interface circuit determines which pair of SCRs will supply direct current to the battery. The processor, which is connected to the output of the polarity sensing detector, decides which pair of SCRs will be the conduit for the current to the battery based on the output of the polarity sensing detector. The polarity sensing detector is in communication with the battery. The SCRs are adapted to be connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery for supplying direct current to the positive terminal of the battery.Once the polarity of the connection has been determined and the direct current will flow to the positive terminal of the battery, the processor utilizes software to determine whether a battery can accept charge.

摘要： A battery charger which senses the percent of charge in a battery, selects automatically on a continuous basis a constant output charging voltage by switching between two different taps of a transformer, limiting the output voltage not to exceed 17.5 volts to protect the electronic components of the vehicle having the battery therein, against the adverse effects resulting from overcharging and compensating for changes in temperature to maintain a constant level of voltage in continuously charging a battery to the point of being fully charged.

摘要： A protection system and method for a battery charger is disclosed for detecting a thermal runaway condition in a battery during charging in order to protect the battery when such a thermal runaway condition has been detected. The protection system in accordance with the present invention does not require external temperature sensors nor does it rely on actions by the technician or user. Briefly, the protection system includes one or more electrical sensors normally provided with conventional battery chargers for sensing one or more electrical parameters during charging and providing an indication of a possible thermal runaway condition based upon the trend of the electrical charging parameters. In general, the protection system monitors the charging characteristics of a battery for a complete or partial charging cycle. If the charging characteristics deviate from a normal or otherwise indicate an anomaly, as determined by software, the system assumes there may be a thermal runaway condition and executes a protection measure, such as terminating charging of the battery. Even though the anomaly may not be the result of a thermal runaway condition, the protection system in accordance with the present invention treats the anomaly as an indication of a thermal runaway condition even though some other problem is the reason for the anomaly. For example, when the anomaly is the result of a bad cell, battery charging is terminated to prevent a thermal runaway condition and not because a thermal runaway condition is detected.
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于电池充电器的保护系统和方法，用于在充电期间检测电池中的热失控状况，以便在检测到这种热失控状况时保护电池。根据本发明的保护系统不需要外部温度传感器，也不依赖于技术人员或用户的动作。简而言之，保护系统包括一个或多个通常设置有常规电池充电器的电传感器，用于在充电期间感测一个或多个电参数，并且基于充电参数的趋势提供可能的热失控状况的指示。通常，保护系统监视电池的充电特性，用于完全或部分充电循环。如果充电特性偏离正常状态或以其他方式指示异常，如软件所确定，则系统假设可能存在热失控状况并执行保护措施，例如终止电池的充电。尽管异常可能不是热失控状态的结果，但是根据本发明的保护系统即使有其他问题是异常的原因，也将异常处理为热失控状态的指示。例如，当异常是坏电池的结果时，终止电池充电以防止热失控状况，并且不是因为检测到热失控状况。

摘要： A portable power source having a battery that is electrically connected to a power circuit that is configured to generate a higher output voltage than the voltage generated by the internal battery. The power circuit is electrically connected to a connection device that distributes the higher output voltage to an external battery source. The power source also includes a case that includes an integral handle for carrying the power source. The handle is formed into the case that includes an internal compartment that is covered by a movable door formed into the case. The door is movable between open and closed positions and arranged and configured to open a switch when the door is in the closed position and close the switch when the door is in the open position. The switch controlled by the movable door controls the application of power to all components comprising the power circuit.
