Abstract
A quick charging circuit comprises a charging current generating circuit including a rectifier connected to an A.C. power source and a high frequency inverter connected to the rectifier for supplying a charging current to a storage battery, a circuit for detecting a voltage across the battery, a timer circuit operated by an output of the battery voltage detecting circuit, and means for reducing the charging current in response to a time limit output of the timer circuit, wherein an integrating circuit is provided with respect to the battery voltage detecting circuit so that any influence of high frequency components in the battery voltage can be removed, whereby the timer circuit can be operated accurately with a set voltage to reduce the charging current and to reliably prevent the battery from being subjected to any overcharging and internal pressure rise.
