Original Abstract Submitted
the automobile controller notifies the controller of the power feed device (power supply controller) of the charging voltage prior to charging the battery. after receiving the charging voltage, the power feed controller raises the voltage at the output end of the power supply device to the supply voltage that is lower than its own rated output voltage and the charging voltage. the automobile controller monitors the voltage at the output end to identify the supply voltage while the power feed controller performs a ground fault check. the automobile controller (1) charges the battery with electric power of the supply voltage if the supply voltage is equal to the charge voltage, and (2) drives a boost converter to reduce the supply voltage to the charge voltage if the supply voltage is lower than the charge voltage, and then charge the battery with electric power from the power feed device.
