ABSTRACT:
A dual mode battery charger includes an input that accepts a DC power signal, and a switch that switches the DC power signal from the input responsive to a control signal to generate a charging signal for the battery. A dual mode controller generates the control signal so that during a high current charging mode the switch is closed, and so that during a low current charging mode the switch is switched at a duty-cycle of less than 100 percent. In addition, a filter filters the charging signal to reduce a ripple portion thereof. Related methods and electronic devices are also discussed.
