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, hi 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.
La présente invention se rapporte à un chargeur de batteries destiné à être utilisé avec diverses batteries, telles que des batteries destinées à des véhicules automobiles et maritimes. Un aspect de l'invention consiste à faire alterner le courant de charge entre des niveaux non nuls de courant de charge continu. L'alternance du courant de charge entre des niveaux non nuls de charge de courant continu permet de charger la batterie à un degré plus élevé (ampères-heures) et plus rapidement, ce qui permet de réduire le temps de charge et d'augmenter dans le même temps le calibre du chargeur de batteries. Conformément à un autre aspect de l'invention, le procédé selon l'invention, qui consiste à faire alterner le courant de charge, peut être mis en oeuvre dans des chargeurs tant linéaires qu'en mode commuté.
