Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for charging a battery are disclosed. The apparatus includes a LED member that includes a single LED that is suitable for emitting light of different colours, each colour corresponding to a different operating status of the apparatus, and an acoustic signalling device that is suitable for emitting an acoustic signal indicating a malfunction of the apparatus or the battery. The method includes a first battery heating and desulphation step during which the battery is supplied with current pulses having a maximum value that is considerably lower than the maximum value of the charging current in a subsequent second constant current charging step, each current pulse being generated when the current absorbed by the battery after the delivery of a previous current pulse falls below a minimum preset value.

Claim (Index 24):
The method according to  claim 23 , comprising returning the value of the dispensed current to said first preset value if the temperature of the apparatus falls below said second threshold value and returning the value of the dispensed current to said maximum value if the temperature of the apparatus falls below said first threshold temperature.
