What charging methods are used in automobiles?
1 Answers
Automobiles employ a constant voltage charging method. When the battery voltage reaches a certain value, the generator regulator cuts off the excitation current, and when it falls below this value, it conducts again to continue charging. For a 12V battery, the control is generally set at 14.2V, and for a 24V battery, around 28V. In maintenance stations, dedicated silicon rectifier power supplies are used for charging, which can precisely control the charging voltage and flexibly adjust the charging current. There are three main charging methods for electric vehicles: 1. Using the portable charger that comes with the vehicle, which allows owners to charge via a household power source; 2. Home charging stations, which are usually provided with the vehicle; 3. Public charging stations, where users can choose between DC fast charging and AC slow charging based on actual needs.
