    摘要: A charge control method by which batteries can be efficiently charged, even if the charging is aborted, as well as a computer which employs such a charge control method is provided. The charge to the main battery is started and then the charge to the,main battery is stopped when the amount of electric energy in the main battery reaches a predetermined value (steps 200 to 204). Next, the charge to the second battery is started and then the charge to the second battery is stopped when the amount of electric energy in the second battery reaches a predetermined value (steps 206 to 210). Next, the charge to the main battery is restarted and then the charge to the main battery is stopped when the amount of electric energy in the main battery reaches 100%. Thereafter, the charge to the second battery is restarted and then the charge to the battery is stopped when the amount of electric energy in the second battery reaches 100% (steps 212 to 222).

    摘要: A connector for a battery charger is configured so that a latching member protrude from a connector body, a connector portion is disposed in the lower portion of a latching member, and a keep plate is fixed at the bottom face 12A. When the connector portion is connected to a battery connector located in a recess of a battery pack, hooks of the latching member fit in grooves of the recess, thereby the keep plate 14 comes in contact with a bottom face of the battery pack and the battery connector is pinched between the keep plate and the latching member. The connector is thus locked in the connection state.

    摘要: A battery pack has a plurality of slits located on an edge surface of the pack. Electrical terminals are positioned completely within the boundaries of the slits to protect the battery pack from electrical shorts in the event the pack comes into contact with an extraneous metal object, such as a coin or key. The slits extend all the way thorugh the battery pack, from the bottom surface to the top surface, such that the slits are open on three sides. This permits the battery pack to be attached to and detached from a mating connector in any one of three directions; specifcally, perpendicular to the upper surface of the battery pack, perpendicular to the lower surface of the pack, and perpendicular to the edge surface.

    摘要: A battery pack having at least one battery cell and an electronic circuit for controlling the charging and discharging of the cell(s) includes an enclosing cover and base which define a cavity and a partition which extends across the cavity to define separate portions for the electronic circuit and the cell(s) respectively. Preferably the cover and base are attached at their edges and the partition is formed of walls in each which interleave when they are brought together. A flexible material such as silicone rubber fills any void between the partition walls to isolate the electronics cavity from the battery cell cavity and provide a gas-proof seal.

    摘要: Disclosed is a battery charger that can be connected in series to a power feed line, which lies between an external power source and an electric/electronic device, and that monitors the power consumption state of the electric/electronic device and begins and halts the charging of a battery in consonance with the power consumption state. Since a battery charger according to the present invention can be inserted in series into a power feed line that lies between an AC/DC adaptor and an electric/electronic device, the wiring arrangement is not complicated and a spare battery can be automatically charged. Since the charging is performed only during a period in which power consumption by the electric/electronic device is relatively low, the charging operation does not affect the system operation. As the battery charger does not require AC to DC conversion circuit, it is compact and light and is suitable for use along with a portable device. Further, when the spare battery pack is carried with being attached into the battery charger, the volume is not great, and as the terminal portions of the battery are covered and are protected from coming into contact with foreign conductive material, the possibility that the electrodes of the battery will be short-circuited can be prevented. To use a notebook computer while staying at a hotel on a business trip, a user need merely connect in series an AC/DC adaptor, a Travel Quick Charger, and a notebook computer in the named order via a power supply cord. The spare battery can be attached into a Travel Quick Charger while being carried to the destination.
