CHARGE MODE SWITCHING

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18822774 titled 'CHARGE MODE SWITCHING

Original Abstract Submitted

Systems and method for controlling a charge mode for a battery charger. One system includes a first microcontroller unit configured to charge a first battery pack via a first power source, a second microcontroller unit configured to charge a second battery pack via a second power source, the second power source electrically isolated from the first power source, an opto-isolation circuit, and an input mechanism. The first microcontroller unit configured to receive a signal output by the input mechanism representing a selected charge mode, control charging of the first battery pack via the first power source based on the selected charge mode, and communicate the selected charge mode to the second microcontroller unit via the opto-isolation circuit.
