ABSTRACT:
A charging control apparatus for a vehicle has a charging control unit. A voltage detecting terminal receives a control voltage that controls the output of a battery charging generator. This unit can use a Type I system, which directly detects the battery voltage and which maintains the battery voltage at its usual level of 14.5 volts by comparing the battery voltage with a threshold, or a Type II system which monitors the battery voltage using a microprocessor, and therefore the output signal indicative of battery voltage can never reach 14.5 volts. The Type II system maintains a normal voltage of 5 volts. The system operates to maintain the voltage between 5 volts and 14.5 volts so that the same system can operate with either Type I and Type II systems. Any voltages between these two limits causes the output of the generator to be increased.
