Abstract:
1. A vehicle charging system configured to be capable of charging a power storage device mounted in a vehicle by an external power supply external to the vehicle, comprising: a converter configured to perform voltage conversion on power supplied from said external power supply and supply the power to an auxiliary load during external charging in which said power storage device is charged by said external power supply; an auxiliary power supply storing power to be supplied to said auxiliary load; a diode for permitting discharging of said auxiliary power supply while preventing charging of said auxiliary power supply during said external charging; a current sensor for detecting discharging of said auxiliary power supply; and a control device for adjusting an output voltage of said converter while confirming whether or not said auxiliary power supply discharges, based on a detection value of said current sensor.
