ABSTRACT:
An aspect of the present invention provides a circuit for generating a voltage that can be used to recharge a battery. The circuit includes an inductive voltage generator operable to generate a magnetic field when the voltage generator is energized by power, and operable to generate a voltage from the magnetic field's collapse when the voltage generator is de-energized, and a switch operable to allow the voltage generator to receive power to energize the voltage generator, and operable to disconnect the power from the voltage generator to de-energize the generator. With this circuit, a power source that generates less voltage than the fully charged capacity of a rechargeable battery can be used to recharge the battery. Also, the circuit can convert power in different forms, such as constant direct current, varying direct current, or alternating current, into a second voltage for charging a battery. Furthermore, the circuit can supply whatever charging voltage is most suitable for the specific battery that is being charged. Current is delivered to the battery in the form of high energy impulses which can improve the proper removal or deposit of material from/on an electrode of the battery. Consequently the life of the battery being charged by the circuitry employed by the present invention is significantly extended, and, in many cases, a battery that is unable to be charged by traditional means, can be restored to a useable condition.
