ABSTRACT:
A battery charging/discharging apparatus has batteries, a charger, diodes and switches. The diodes are respectively connected in parallel with the batteries. The cathode of each diode is connected to the positive side of the corresponding battery and the anode of each diode is connected in the negative side of the corresponding battery. The batteries are discharged in a serial connection. The switches change the connection of the batteries to cause a parallel connection of the batteries to charge the batteries and to cause a serial connection to discharge the batteries. The apparatus can continue the charging/discharging of batteries even when one of the batteries fails.
