Abstract:
A method for charging a battery cell includes first transferring of energy from a power source to a plurality of capacitive regions in the battery cell followed by transferring of charge stored in the plurality of capacitive regions of the battery cell into at least an electrolytic mixture that comprises the battery cell and electrodes immersed in the electrolyte mixture. The capacitive regions in the battery cell comprise capacitive double layers between the electrolyte mixture and particles of active material that comprise the battery cell. The transferring of energy from the power source to the capacitive regions occurs for a first duration of time sufficient to substantially fully charge the capacitive regions.

Claim (Index 12):
A battery charging circuit comprising:\n an output port for a connection to a battery pack comprising at least one battery cell; a power source; a switching circuit; the switching circuit having a first switch configuration that connects the current source connected to the output port to provide electric current the battery pack; the switching circuit having a second switch configuration that disconnects the current source from the output port; and a controller, the controller configured to control the switching circuit to the first switch configuration to transfer energy from the power source to a plurality of capacitive regions in the battery cell, the controller maintaining the first switch configuration for a first duration of time sufficient to substantially fully charge the plurality of capacitive regions, the capacitive regions comprising capacitive double layers between an electrolyte mixture that comprises the battery cell and particles of active material that comprise the battery cell, the controller configured to control the switching circuit to the second switch configuration for a second duration of time to allow transfer of charge stored in the plurality of capacitive regions of the battery cell into at least an electrolytic mixture that comprises the battery cell, the controller configured to alternate between the first transferring and the second transferring to charge the battery cell.
