The present invention relates to a series charger with separate detection
of batteries which includes a charging control device for converting the
inputted AC power into DC power so as to charging four batteries in
series connection. The charging control device further provides a
reference voltage source to a control IC which is connected with a
current detector for measuring the current value of the batteries. Each
of the series-connected batteries is parallel-connected with a switch
element. A one-way diode is interposed between the positive end of the
batteries and each of the switch elements. Besides, the control IC
provides -.DELTA.V to the positive terminal of the respective charging
circuit of the batteries for detecting the end-point voltage thereof.
When each of the batteries is fully charged, the respective switch
element is switched in a close circuit so that the charging current
continues to flow downward for further charging operation. Moreover,
after all batteries are fully charged one after another, the current
detector is used to regulate the charging current or the switch-on time
of the switch elements is controlled for proceeding with supplementary
charging procedure.
