There are a few power path options, described below. For simple chargers without a power path, the battery is directly connected to the system, and the charger IC only has one output, which is the battery. In this scenario, the battery must be charged to reach the minimum system voltage before the product can power on.
The charging process can be divided into four different stages: trickle charge, pre-charge, constant-current charge, and constant-voltage charge. Figure 1 shows the charging curve of a typical lithium-ion battery. It seems simple, but there are many parameters to consider when choosing a battery charging solution.
During AC charging, the charge control is partly taken care of by the on-board charger, which is responsible for converting AC current to DC, which is then sent in the required voltage to the battery. In the case of DC charging, the electric current goes directly to the BMS, which controls the charging and communicates with the DC station.
A Battery Charging System comprises various components that work together to replenish the energy stored in a battery. These components include the battery itself, a charging source such as an alternator or charger, as well as regulators and monitoring devices to ensure safe and efficient charging.
