ABSTRACT:
A charging apparatus for controlling so as to charge a connected secondary battery by a constant current which is equal to or less than a constant voltage and to charge the secondary battery by a constant voltage which is equal to or less than the constant current when a terminal voltage of the secondary battery rises to the constant voltage is constructed by: switching means for shutting off a charge current at a certain period; comparing means for comparing a voltage difference between a first voltage on a power source side than the switching means when the charge current is shut off and a second voltage on the secondary battery side with a first reference voltage; and control means for stopping the charge or displaying the end of charge in accordance with the comparison result.
