Abstract
A method of charging a battery by a charging system comprising a master charging circuit and N (N is a natural number) slave charging circuits. The method includes: sourcing a first current to a single-wired bus by the master charging circuit; absorbing (sinking) a second current from the single-wired bus by the N slave charging circuits connected to the single-wired bus; identifying a single-wired bus voltage formed on the single-wired bus at a particular time point by the master charging circuit; and identifying the number of slave charging circuits based on the single-wired bus voltage by the master charging circuit.
