Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques and apparatus for supplying power, including battery charging. One example power supply circuit generally includes a switching regulator including an output node; a first battery node for coupling to a first battery; a second battery node for coupling to a second battery; a first switch coupled between the output node of the switching regulator and the first battery node; and a second switch coupled between the output node of the switching regulator and the second battery node. Such a power supply circuit may independently control and monitor the charging of multiple independent batteries without using multiple chargers, may balance the batteries during discharging, and may operate without a current limit switch.
