A charge control device of a secondary battery that allows the use of an
electronic apparatus for a long period using a single initial charging,
and is capable of extending battery life. The charging device includes a
charge circuit for supplying charging current to secondary batteries, a
voltage detection circuit for detecting the voltage of secondary
batteries, a current detection circuit for detecting the charging current
in secondary batteries, a memory such as an EEPROM for recording the
number of times of charging or total charge integrated amount in
secondary batteries, and a microcontroller for controlling charge
circuit, changing over to constant voltage charge after charging
secondary batteries 2 at constant current, and decreasing the voltage in
constant voltage charging depending on the number of times of charge or
total charge integrated amount recorded in the memory of EEPROM.
