Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the internal resistance, to charge at a high rate current, and to reduce the charging time, by providing a heater to heat a polymer battery to a battery charger, so as to raise the temperature of the battery. CONSTITUTION:The voltage converter 1 of a battery charger is composed of an input terminal 2 connected to an external power source, and output terminals 3 and 4. The output terminal 3 is for charging current, and outputs the current to a connection 6 through a charge controller 5. The terminals of a polymer electrolyte secondary battery 7 are connected to the terminal 6 to carry out the charging, and the secondary battery 7 is heated by a heater 8 connected to the output terminal 4. The maximum charging current of the polymer electrolyte secondary battery is changed depending on the battery temperature. As a result, by regulating the battery temperature accurately, a constant current charging can be carried out, and the charging time is reduced.

A polymer electrolyte is a solid electrolyte that is made to have ionic conductivity by dissolving or dispersing an ionic substance such as an alkali metal salt in a polar polymer resin. By selecting conductive ionic species and optimal positive and negative electrodes, various secondary batteries and secondary batteries can be constructed. In particular, polymer electrolytes containing dissolved lithium salts such as polyethylene oxide, polypropylene oxide, and their derivatives, ClO4, CF, SO, etc. can be made thinner, so they can be used not only for batteries but also for ECD elements (electrochromic display elements). Research is also progressing for use in electrochemical devices such as sensors and sensors.

Batteries using polymer electrolytes can be made smaller and thinner, have no leakage, and can be used in battery systems with high electromotive force, making it possible to construct highly reliable, high energy density batteries. Furthermore, since it is easy to form the electrolyte layer into an elastic sheet, it is possible to produce a secondary battery with a long cycle life, which is less susceptible to the history of electrode volume changes due to charging and discharging.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Batteries using polymer electrolytes have high internal resistance, so their use is limited to applications where they are discharged at low current for long periods of time, and even if they are configured as a secondary battery, they cannot be charged. The drawback was that it took an extremely long time to complete, making it impractical. In other words, it takes several tens of hours to charge a discharged battery.
Similarly, since it took several tens of hours, the characteristics of this battery could not be utilized.

By raising the temperature of a functional polymer electrolyte secondary battery, the internal resistance decreases, making it possible to charge at a high rate of current and shorten the charging time. Polymer electrolytes have low conductivity at room temperature or low temperatures, but as the temperature rises, the conductivity rapidly improves, making it possible to conduct large currents. For example, the conductivity of a polymer electrolyte containing 20% polyethylene oxide CF3503 is 1.5xlO-7 at room temperature.
