Patent

CA 2206431

A battery charging and conditioning circuit is provided wherein application of a charging current to a battery (B) is alternated with the application of short current spikes. The impedance characteristic and no load voltage characteristic of the battery are monitored and processed to select the charging current and spiked current applied to the battery. Processing of the impedance characteristic and no load voltage characteristic of the battery is made by a processing unit (5). The circuit used to generate the short current spikes responds to a timing signal produced by an oscillator (15) by opening and closing a switch (11) to release charge stored in a charge storage device such as an inductor (19), the released charge comprising a current pulse for application to the battery.

L'invention se rapporte à un circuit de charge et de conditionnement de batterie, dans lequel l'application d'un courant de charge sur la batterie (B) est effectuée en alternance avec l'application de courtes pointes de courant. On surveille et on traite les caractéristiques d'impédance et de tension à vide de la batterie afin de sélectionner le courant de charge et les pointes de courant appliqués sur la batterie. On traite les caractéristiques d'impédance et de tension à vide par l'intermédiaire d'une unité de traitement (5). Le circuit utilisé pour générer les courtes pointes de courant réagit à un signal de synchronisation produit par un oscillateur (15) en ouvrant et en fermant un commutateur (11) afin de libérer la charge accumulée dans un dispositif d'accumulation de charge tel qu'un inducteur (19), ladite charge libérée comprenant une impulsion de courant destinée à être appliquée sur la batterie.
