A mobile terminal including a terminal body comprising a battery; an adaptor connector formed at one side surface of the terminal body and to which a power supply adaptor is connected; a plurality of charging units configured to charge the battery between the adaptor connector and the battery; and a controller configured to generate a control signal for controlling each of the plurality of charging units. Further, any one of the plurality of charging units is configured to detect a level of a voltage of the battery, compare the voltage of the battery with first to third threshold voltages, and output first battery voltage data to the controller when the voltage of the battery is lower than the first threshold voltage, output second battery voltage data to the controller when the voltage of the battery is equal to or larger than the first threshold voltage and is lower than the second threshold voltage, and output third battery voltage data to the controller when the voltage of the battery is equal to or larger than the second threshold voltage and is lower than the third threshold voltage.

Mobile terminal and battery charging method therefor

A mobile terminal and a battery charging method therefor are provided. The mobile terminal includes: a terminal body including a battery; an adaptor connecter formed at one side surface of the terminal body and to which a power supply adaptor is connected; a plurality of charging units configured to charge the battery between the adaptor connecter and the battery; and a controller configured to generate a control signal for controlling each of the plurality of charging units.

A mobile terminal capable of being charged in a wired or wireless manner is disclosed. Some embodiments of the disclosed mobile terminal include a terminal body having a battery, a contact unit formed at one side of the terminal body and coupled to an adaptor, and a plurality of conductive lines configured to connect the contact unit with the battery, where a first conductive line passes through a first charging unit configured to charge the battery with power received wirelessly from a wireless power transmitter, where a second conductive line passes through the second charging unit, and the first conductive line and the second conductive line diverge at a first point and converge at a second point between the contact unit and the battery.

Mobile terminal capable of being charged in a wired or wireless manner

A wireless power transmitter includes a body having a coil module therein, and configured to transmit power in a wireless manner, a blowing module configured to cool the coil module by moving a fluid by convection and a guide module extending from the blowing module to outside of the body such that the fluid from the blowing module is discharged to outside of the body after cooling the coil module. The coil module has a shape corresponding to an outer circumference of the coil module partially or wholly.
