Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A charger includes: a charging circuit which receives an electric power from external equipment and charges a secondary battery; a control device which determines a power supply capability of the external equipment on the basis of the electric power that is supplied to the charging circuit from the external equipment; and a display device that displays the power supply capability of the external equipment, which has been determined by the control device.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A charger comprising: a charging circuit which receives an electric power from external equipment and charges a secondary battery; a control device which determines a power supply capability of the external equipment on the basis of the electric power that is supplied to the charging circuit from the external equipment; and a display device that displays the power supply capability of the external equipment, which has been determined by the control device. 2 . The charger according to claim 1 , wherein the display device displays the power supply capability of the external equipment, in stages by a plurality of indicating lamps. 3 . The charger according to claim 2 , further comprising a state-of-charge detection circuit which detects a state of charge of the secondary battery, wherein the display device turns off all of the plurality of indicating lamps on condition that the secondary battery has been charged to a fully charged state. 4 . A charger comprising: a charging circuit which receives an electric power from external equipment and charges a secondary battery; a control device which determines a power supply capability of the external equipment on the basis of the electric power that is supplied to the charging circuit from the external equipment, and sets a charging mode of the secondary battery in the charging circuit on the basis of the determined power supply capability of the external equipment; and a display device that displays the charging mode which has been set by the control device. 5 . The charger according to claim 4 , wherein the display device displays the charging mode in stages by a plurality of indicating lamps. 6 . The charger according to claim 5 , further comprising a state-of-charge detection circuit which detects a state of charge of the secondary battery, wherein the display device turns off all of the plurality of indicating lamps on condition that the secondary battery has been charged to a fully charged state. 7 . The charger according to claim 1 , wherein the control device periodically determines the power supply capability of the external equipment.
