~The memory voltage of M3 increases, but at the peak point
After t 1 , the storage voltage Vc of the second potential storage element M 2 is the fourth
While it is constant due to the opening of switch circuit S4 ,
The storage voltage of the first and third potential storage elements M 1 and M 3 decreases in accordance with the charging voltage characteristic A. For this reason, the comparator circuit 14 outputs an output at time t 2 when a predetermined difference voltage (zero voltage in the specific example) between the decreasing storage voltage of the first potential storage element M 1 and the storage voltage Vc of the second potential storage element M 2 is reached. occurs, and the automatic switching circuit 8 selects the first
The electronic switch 7 of the second charging branch 5 1 is opened, and then the electronic switch 7 of the second charging branch 5 2 is closed. When the charging branches 5 1 and 5 2 are switched, the storage voltage of each potential storage element M 1 to M 2 is discharged by instantaneous closing of the reset switches RS 1 to RS 3 by the output of the automatic switching circuit 8. It is returned to the initial state and used for detecting the charge of the battery block 4 of the next stage charging branch 52 .

して全ての電池ブロツク4…を個別に充電する。 In this way, the battery blocks 4 individually attached to each of the charging branches 5 1 to 5 o are sequentially charged. For example, if the battery block 4 is not attached to the third charging branch 53 , the electronic switch 7 of the third charging branch 53 is automatically turned off after charging of the battery block 4 of the second charging branch 52 is completed. The circuit is closed based on the output of the switching circuit 8, but since there is no battery block, the voltage applied to the voltage dividing circuit 10 is large, and the comparator circuit 14 detects an abnormal voltage and outputs an output. The electronic switch 7 of the third charging branch 53 is opened, and the electronic switch 7 of the fourth charging branch 54 is closed. In this way, if no battery block 4 is attached to a charging branch, that charging branch is skipped and all battery blocks 4 are individually charged.

る。 As described above, according to the present invention, since each battery block is charged individually and sequentially, all battery blocks with different amounts of remaining electricity can be properly charged, and the detection mechanism for the state of charge of the battery blocks is Only one is required, and the charging device can be made smaller. Further, the predetermined state of charge of the battery block is detected after the peak of the charging voltage characteristic of the battery block, so that the amount of charge of the battery can be brought close to the amount of full charge. Furthermore, the state of charge of the battery block is detected by a detection circuit as a voltage dividing point voltage of a voltage dividing circuit that divides the battery voltage, and a memory circuit that stores the maximum voltage of the battery voltage is stored at a higher potential than the voltage dividing point. When the storage voltage of the storage element connected to the high potential point of the voltage dividing circuit via a switch becomes equal to the voltage of the low potential point of the voltage dividing circuit which is lower in potential than the voltage dividing point, the switch is opened and the In order to increase the storage voltage in a stepwise manner, the storage element is supplied with power from a high potential point voltage that is higher than the voltage division point voltage that is the detection voltage of the detection circuit, and the memory element is supplied with power from a high potential point voltage that is higher than the voltage division point voltage that is the detection voltage of the detection circuit. Voltage tracking response can be improved. Furthermore, since the memory voltage is always set to the initial state at the start of charging due to the function of the reset circuit, erroneous detection at full charge can be prevented.
