Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charging method and charging device that can perform high-speed charging, obtain high charging efficiency, and control the drop of charging capacity caused by passing a charging cycle. <P>SOLUTION: By effecting a charge with a low current when a battery voltage is a prescribed reference value or lower, impressing a high charging current to the battery is prevented under a condition that there is a big difference between a charging voltage and the battery one. Conversely, by impressing the high charging current when the battery voltage becomes the reference value or higher and the difference between the battery voltage and the charging one becomes a certain value or lower, a charging process is prevented from being extended for many hours exceeding a permissible range. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
