ABSTRACT:
A series pass battery charger is disclosed which comprises at least two input voltage sources, a series pass element and a power dissipation control circuit which is operatively connected to the series pass element. The power dissipation control circuit senses the voltage difference between the input voltages sources and the DC output voltage of the battery charger and controls the voltage applied to the series pass element. During periods of excessive power dissipation, the control circuit decreases the amount of the input voltage applied to the series pass element thereby greatly reducing the power dissipated.
