Abstract
A charge controller includes a charge control circuit which controls a charging transistor; and a protection circuit that, when the secondary battery is over-discharged, turns off the first control switch element to block discharge current and when the secondary battery is overcharged, turns off the second control switch element to prevent the charge current from flowing. The charge control circuit includes a function of control for applying constant charge current through the charging transistor until the voltage of the secondary battery reaches a predetermined value and switching to control for applying charge current at a constant voltage after the voltage of the secondary battery reaches the predetermined value, and a terminal voltage on the positive electrode side and a terminal voltage on the negative electrode side of the secondary battery are supplied as monitoring voltage to the charge control circuit.
