摘要:
To charge a battery having a different number of cells connected in series with a relevant charge current, the number of cells of the battery is firstly determined and a current level corresponding to the number of cells is determined in view of the potential of the charger. The charge current having a level substantially equal to the thus determined current level is flowed in the battery.

To discriminate that a rechargeable battery has reached an end of life, the maximum battery voltage detected during a preliminary charge time is compared with a predetermined reference voltage. When the comparison results indicate that the battery voltage is above the predetermined reference voltage, it is determined that the battery has reached the end of life.

A status of a battery is detected to determine whether an amount of residual charge is large or not. Detection of the status of the battery is performed on the basis of a change in the voltage level over a preliminary charge time. If the battery is determined to at low charge, then a sleep time is set. The full charge condition of the battery is, for example, detected when a second order differential of the voltage across the battery becomes negative. However, the computation of the second order differential is not performed during the sleep time. Further, to accurately determine the status of the battery, the duration of the preliminary charge time is prolonged if the battery is detected to have been deeply discharged.

A charging circuit generates a charging current from an ac supply which is supplied to a secondary battery in a battery package through first terminals. A second terminal receives a temperature detection signal from a thermistor on the secondary battery. A value of the temperature detection signal is sampled every predetermined interval. A memory stores the sampled value. A difference between the sampled value and the value from the memory is obtained, as well as the temperature decrease value between the sampled value and the value stored, when it applies. An error signal is generated when the difference is higher than a predetermined value and the operator is alarmed and informed of the error. The difference may be obtained between the sampled value and the value one-cycle-previously-sampled value from the memory, between the sampled value and a minimum of the sampled values, or between the sampled value and a charging start value of the sampled value. The thermistor is supplied with a supply voltage through a switch and an error condition caused by leakage of the electrolyte from the battery is detected when the voltage at the second terminal is higher than the predetermined value, the charging current generation circuit is controlled to stop generating the charging current.

A power tool includes a linear motor and a maximum reciprocal movement amount setting unit. The linear motor has a movable member driven to move reciprocally and a tool connector for connecting work bits to the movable member. The maximum reciprocal movement amount setting unit is for setting maximum reciprocal movement amount at which the linear motor drives movement of the movable member to a selected one of a plurality of maximum reciprocal movement amounts. Also, a position information region is provided on the movable member. A movable member region detector detects the movable member position information region of the movable member and a control unit sets, as the initial position of the movable member, position of the movable member at the time the movable member region detector detects the movable member position information region.

In a hydraulic piston pump, a cylinder port can communicate with a discharge port after a system pressure and a chamber pressure in a cylinder bore becomes in an equilibrium condition. A through hole opening to a surface on which a cylinder block slides in a valve plate is allowed to communicate with a side of one end surface of a balance valve, and the system pressure of a discharge port side is supplied to the other end surface of the balance valve. In the balance valve, a balance piston which slides by a pressure difference between the chamber pressure of the cylinder bore and the system pressure is accommodated. Before the cylinder port communicates with an oil guiding groove, the chamber pressure can be equilibrated to the system pressure by an activation of the balance piston.
