ABSTRACT:
A plurality of charging devices30may be connected to a computer10, 110via a network60. When computer10receives chewing information from a charging device30before performing a charging operation, computer10may compute the optimal charging period based upon the charging information. Parameters defining the optimal charging period may be transmitted to the respective charging devices30. Each charging device30may perform the battery charging operation based upon the transmitted parameters. Thus, a network system can manage and control the charging operations for the plurality of charging devices in order to optimize charging period, optimize the number of charging devices30and battery packs50in use and maximize battery life.
