Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of power supply, and in particular to a high-efficiency power adapter. Background Art

[0002] Traditional power adapters usually use traditional current control methods during the charging process, mainly through current limiters or linear current regulators. However, this method has some defects, one of which is that the precise control of current during the charging process may be insufficient, resulting in reduced charging efficiency. This is because traditional current control methods are difficult to maintain a stable current output throughout the charging cycle, which may cause current fluctuations.

[0003] Another common control method is to use voltage control for charging. Although voltage control can provide a certain degree of control over the current, it may cause current fluctuations, making it difficult to maintain a stable charging current throughout the charging process. This fluctuation may have a certain impact on the charging equipment and battery, thereby reducing the charging efficiency. Utility Model Content
