Abstract:
1. An in-vehicle charging apparatus installed in a vehicle and configured to charge a storage battery installed in the vehicle, using a power source that is connected to an electric device and that is provided outside the vehicle, the apparatus comprising: a charger that receives a variable input current value flowing from the power source for charging the storage battery; a measurement section that measures the input current value of the charger and an input voltage value on the side of the power source of the charger; and a control section that controls the input current value of the charger, wherein: the control section varies the input current value of the charger into a plurality of values, and calculates a correspondence between the input current values measured by the measurement section during the varying, and input voltage values corresponding to the respective input current values; and the control section controls, when an input voltage value varies while the input current value measured by the measurement section remains the same during charge of the storage battery, the input current value of the charger so that the input current value of the charger corresponds to the input voltage value before the varying, based on the correspondence.
