ABSTRACT:
A method for charging a secondary battery is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of detecting an impedance of the battery; charging the battery with a substantially constant first current having a value smaller than a predetermined current value if the detected impedance of the battery is equal to or greater than a predetermined impedance value; charging the battery with a substantially constant second current having a value equal to or greater than the predetermined current value if the detected impedance is less than the predetermined impedance value; and terminating charging the battery with the first and second constant currents when the closed circuit voltage of the battery reaches a predetermined voltage value.
