Abstract

Most of the battery charger for electric powered forklift truck are controlled by the method of 3-phased constant current and constant voltage. However, these chargers have several disadvantages like a large charger capacity, and a short battery life time. This paper presents a digital type battery charger based on multi-mode control adding a constant power control and several assistant controls in the conventional control. The whole control system is performed by a low cost one-chip micro-controller and completely digitize. So we can get a high precision control and a good reliability.
