Abstract

See full text

A charging circuit that prevents a system abnormality caused by removal of a battery. The charging circuit includes a constant voltage charge controller which detects charge voltage and performs a constant voltage charging operation. A constant current charge controller detects charge current and performs a constant current charging operation. A controller controls the constant voltage charge controller to perform the constant voltage charging operation during a period from when the charge voltage reaches a fully charged voltage to when the charge current decreases to a charge completion current. The controller suspends charging the battery when the constant voltage charging operation is being performed and detects whether or not the battery is coupled to the charging circuit based on the charge voltage during the charging suspension.
