The application relates to the technical field of pre-charging circuits, and discloses a pre-charging circuit and a charging method, wherein the pre-charging circuit comprises a switching unit, a constant-current
generating unit and a comparison
control unit; the switching unit comprises an input end, an output end and a control end; the constant-current
generating unit is connected in parallel with the input end and the output end, and generates a pre-charging current which is constant in size and is input to the output end when the input end and the output end are disconnected; the comparison
control unit generates a
control signal which is input to the control end based on the
voltage difference between the input end and the output end; when in use, when initially powered on, the application provides the output end of the switching unit with a constant pre-charging current through the constant-current
generating unit, guarantees that the current is constant and does not attenuate during the pre-charging process, can shorten the pre-charging time and inhibit the
impact current in the initial power-on period, and protects the switching unit and the
battery pack; and by adjusting the size of the pre-charging current output by the constant-current generating unit, the
bus capacitor with different capacitances and the battery with different
voltage grades can be adapted, and the generality is high.
