Classification: CPC H  B  G  Y | IPC B  G  H

Claim 0:
1. A vehicle charger for charging a battery of a vehicle, the vehicle charger comprising:
an electrical power cord releasably attachable to at least one of the vehicle and a source of power;
a controller; and
a display coupled to the controller;
wherein the controller is configured to:
detect a level of charge of the battery;
determine a first charging parameter of the vehicular charger to be used in charging the battery based on a first selection received through a user-manipulatable control coupled to the controller, the first charging parameter comprising at least one of a group consisting of a voltage and an amperage;
calculate a first amount of time needed to charge the battery based at least in part upon the level of charge of the battery and the first charging parameter;
display the first amount of time needed to charge the battery on the display;
determine a second charging parameter of the vehicular charger to be used in charging the battery based on a second selection received through the user-manipulatable control coupled to the controller, the second charging parameter comprising at least one of a group consisting of a voltage and an amperage;
calculate a second amount of time needed to charge the battery based at least in part upon the second charging parameter; and
display the second amount of time needed to charge the battery on the display;
start charging the battery according to the second charging parameter.
