For example, one circuit of power supply unit 1 is as follows: Figure 2 The external input voltages 12V_1 and 12_V are converted into a stable 12V DC voltage through diodes D1 and D2, capacitors C14 and C15, respectively. The voltage regulator chip U6 of model 7805 converts the 12V DC voltage into a 5V DC voltage, and the voltage regulator chip IC1 of model HT7333 converts the 5V DC voltage into a 3.3V DC voltage.
[0043] In this embodiment, the circuit of the main control unit 2 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, it includes a control chip of model GD32F303RCT6; the circuit of the first charger control unit 3 is as follows.

Figure 11 As shown, the resistor branch consisting of resistor R28 and thermistor NTC1 detects temperature. When the temperature changes, the resistance of thermistor NTC1 changes, and the analog voltage input to main control unit 2, i.e., the voltage across capacitor C30, changes accordingly. Main control unit 2 performs analog-to-digital conversion on the analog voltage to determine its magnitude, and thus the temperature. In practical use, main control unit 2 can perform over-temperature protection and over-current protection based on the detected charging current and temperature, ensuring charging safety.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model also includes at least one button unit 11, which is electrically connected to the main control unit 2 and is used to input high-level or low-level operation signals to the main control unit 2. For example, the circuit of the button unit 11 is as follows...

The signal input to the main control unit 2 changes from a high level to a low level, thereby performing dual monitoring with the battery communication unit 7.
[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model also includes a 485 communication unit 14 and a display screen 15. The main control unit 2 is electrically connected to the display screen 15 through the 485 communication unit 14. The display screen is used for information display, thus facilitating user viewing. Furthermore, the circuit of the 485 communication unit 14 is as follows... Figure 15 As shown.
[0056] Example 2
[0057] like Figure 16 As shown, this embodiment provides a fast charger, including a charger control circuit as described in Embodiment 1, and also includes a first charger and a second charger.

The negative output terminal of the first charger and the negative output terminal of the second charger are electrically connected. The control circuit is electrically connected to the first charger and the second charger.
[0058] In actual use, the fast charger has a standby state and a charging stop. In the standby state, the main control unit 2 controls the first charger and the second charger to have no output voltage and current.
[0059] When the lithium battery is connected, the main control unit 2 successfully hands over with the lithium battery via the CAN communication protocol through the battery communication unit 7. It then controls the charger's output voltage and current according to the lithium battery's requirements, and the buzzer alarm unit 17 and voice alarm unit 16 provide voice prompts. If there is no communication or the communication protocol is not met, the system remains in standby mode, the display screen 15 shows a battery connection error, and the buzzer alarm unit 17 and voice alarm unit 16 provide alarm prompts.
[0060] During normal charging, if the current detected by the Hall sensor deviates significantly from the current communicated with the lithium battery, charging will stop, the display screen 15 will show a charging abnormality, and the buzzer alarm unit 17 and the voice alarm unit 16 will issue an alarm notification.
