ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for charging electrical storage batteries having a known nominal amperage. Discharging the battery to a predetermined value and then charging the battery with a charging current which is initially several times greater than the nominal battery amperage and which charging current decreases exponentially from the initial charging current to a charging current which is much less than the nominal battery amperage when the battery is fully charged. The apparatus uses the discharge rate of an RC circuit to exponentially control the charging current applied to the battery.
