Abstract
A high efficiency battery charger. The high-efficiency battery charger can include a first transformer to produce a charging current, a second transformer to produce a maintenance current lower than the charging current, a power feed circuit having an input for connection to a power source, and control circuitry configured to detect a depleted battery to cause the power feed circuitry to feed power to the first transformer while disabling the second transformer, and to detect a charged battery to cause the power feed circuitry to feed power to the second transformer while disabling the first transformer.
