ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for controlling the charging of an electrical energy storage device by an electrical energy source and controlling the discharging of the device through a load involve a relay actuable between a first condition coupling the storage device to the load and a second condition coupling the storage device to the source. When the electrical signal from the source reaches a preselected threshold level, the relay is actuated from the first condition to the second condition thereof for charging of the storage device by the signal. When the electrical signal generated by the storage device reaches a preselected charged level, the relay is reset from the second condition to the first condition to supply power to the load. In a preferred embodiment, an additional regulated source electrical signal may be applied to the storage device independently of the relay for float charging of the device.
