The amount of charge to a battery is measured by a coulometer or coulometers and the charge is reduced to zero or to a trickle charge when a given amount of charge has been applied to the battery from a charger. In a first embodiment the battery is then switched to a load by sensing circuitry and discharged. The discharge is also measured by the coulometer or coulometers and the battery is removed from the load and placed back on charge after it has supplied a charge to the load that is equal to the charge applied to the battery from the charger. In this first embodiment, a plurality of sequential charge rates can be provided to the battery by means of a plurality of parallel connected coulometers. In a second embodiment, the battery remains connected on a load at all times and a plurality of charge rates is provided by means of a plurality of series connected coulometers and a constant voltage charger. With the circuitry of this invention, excessive charge and discharge of the battery is prevented.,下面是Battery charge rate control专利的具体信息内容。
