Abstract

An electrochemically controlled charging circuit for charging storage batteries is disclosed. The embodiments disclosed utilize dc amplification of battery control current to minimize total energy expended for charging storage batteries to a preset voltage level. The circuits allow for selection of Zener diodes having a wide range of reference voltage levels. Also, the preset voltage level to which the storage batteries are charged can be varied over a wide range.

Phase controlled rectifier circuit for rapidly charging batteries

Patent Steigerwald, R. L.

An improved battery charger circuit for rapidly charging a battery by increasing the rate of battery charge acceptance through periodic battery discharge during the charging process includes a pair of first and second controlled rectifier circuits coupled to an ac source and adapted for coupling to a battery. The first controlled rectifier circuit is rendered conductive during the charging intervals to supply the battery with charge current from the ac source. The second controlled rectifier circuit is rendered conductive during battery discharge intervals to discharge the battery in a substantially lossless manner by conducting battery discharge current through the acmore »« less
Battery charging circuit. [for telephone service batteries at remote locations]

Patent Bosik, B.S.

A single-channel carrier system for telephone service is disclosed including at the remote terminal a battery charger for charging a battery which powers the carrier electronics at the remote terminal. A ringing generator and supervisory circuits are disclosed to provide normal telephone supervision on the carrier-derived channel. The battery charger includes a dc-to-dc converter to increase the rate of battery charging and an interface unit to minimize the effect on the telephone line by the charger. In one embodiment, the interface unit disconnects the charger to permit leakage testing of the line. 11 figures.

Charging system and method for multicell storage batteries

Patent Cox, J.A.

A battery-charging system includes a first charging circuit connected in series with a plurality of battery cells for controlled-current charging. A second charging circuit applies a controlled voltage across each individual cell for equalization of the cells to the fully charged condition. This controlled voltage is determined at a level above the fully charged open-circuit voltage but at a sufficiently low level to prevent corrosion of cell components by electrochemical reaction. In this second circuit for cell equalization, a transformer primary receives closely regulated, square-wave voltage which is coupled to a plurality of equal secondary coil windings. Each secondary windingmore »« less
Method for charging electrical storage batteries

Patent Short, J.N.

This patent describes an apparatus for charging electrical storage battery means including direct current source means to provide the generally linear charging current; current controller means providing a central signal determine the rate of flow of current to the storage battery. A switch means is connected in series between the direct current source means and the battery means. A signal input means receives the control signal whereby the switch means is operated by the controller in response to the current flow rate to the battery to regulate rate of current flow to the battery modulator means to receive the controlmore »« less
