ABSTRACT:
In the method of charging a plurality of lithium ion rechargeable batteries, if another battery is attached during battery charging, open circuit voltages of those respective batteries are measured and compared. When the open circuit voltage of the battery attached later is greater than that of the battery being charged, charging of the previously attached battery is suspended and the battery attached later is given priority and charged. When the open circuit voltage of the battery being charged is greater than that of the battery attached later, the battery being charged is given priority and charged.
