When main frame 200 with after base 202 combines, main frame 200 is to be the battery of preferential discharge with second rechargeable battery 226 in the base 202, and serves as the battery of preferential charging with first rechargeable battery 214.That is to say that when not connecting external power supply, portable computer system 20 is given computing circuit 204 by 226 discharges of second rechargeable battery earlier, treat that second rechargeable battery, 226 power supplys exhaust after, just change by first rechargeable battery 214 and discharge.Relatively, when main frame 200 is connected to external power supply, earlier first rechargeable battery 214 is charged, treat first rechargeable battery 214 fill full after, just second rechargeable battery 226 is charged.In this case, because first supply hub 210 and second source jack 222 all can chimeric transformers, therefore relevant charging function mode can divide following two kinds of situations to do explanation.
First, if first supply hub 210 is chimeric when a transformer is arranged, the direct supply that transformer provided can be via first supply hub 210 and first current detection circuit 212, export first power end 208 to, being supplied to the computing circuit 204 and first charging circuit 218, and further be supplied to second source end 220.At this moment, control device 232 can be controlled first charging circuit 218 and preferentially first rechargeable battery 214 be charged by the first control signal C1 and the second control signal C2.Simultaneously, if dump power arranged, promptly the first testing result R1 show first supply hub, 210 to first power ends 208 electric current less than a preset value, then control device 232 can also charge to second rechargeable battery 226 by control second charging circuit 230.On the contrary, if the first testing result R1 shows when the electric current of first supply hub, 210 to first power ends 208 surpasses preset value, indication transformer may face the risk of overload, then control device 232 can be controlled second charging circuit 230 according to this and reduces or stop charging current to second rechargeable battery 226, or further control the power consumption of computing circuit 204, as reducing rotation speed of the fan, reducing the operation rate of central processing unit etc.Thus, also can avoid the possibility of transformer overload, to keep system's normal operation except guaranteeing preferentially to 214 chargings of first rechargeable battery.
Second, if second source jack 222 is chimeric when a transformer is arranged, the direct supply that transformer provided can be via the second source jack 222 and second current detection circuit 224, export second source end 220 to, being supplied to the computing circuit 204 and second charging circuit 230, and further be supplied to first power end 208.At this moment, control device 232 can be controlled first charging circuit 218 and preferentially first rechargeable battery 214 be charged by the first control signal C1 and the second control signal C2.Simultaneously, if dump power arranged, promptly the second testing result R2 show second source jack 222 to the electric current of second source end 220 less than a particular value, then control device 232 can also charge to second rechargeable battery 226 by control second charging circuit 230.On the contrary, if the second testing result R2 shows that second source jack 222 is when the electric current of second source end 220 surpasses particular value, indication transformer may face the risk of overload, then control device 232 can be controlled second charging circuit 230 according to this and reduces or stop charging current to second rechargeable battery 226, or further control the power consumption of computing circuit 204, as reducing rotation speed of the fan, reducing the operation rate of central processing unit etc.Thus, also can avoid the possibility of transformer overload, to keep system's normal operation except guaranteeing preferentially to 214 chargings of first rechargeable battery.
