Charging system

Abstract

To control the battery temperature to be within the optimum range for charging when charging a battery.SOLUTION: A charging system 100 is connected to a battery 80A of a vehicle 70A and includes a charging unit 90 that charges the battery 80A. The charging system 100 also includes a temperature adjustment unit 92 that is connected to the battery 80A and that circulates a fluid for cooling the battery between the temperature adjustment unit and the battery when the temperature of the battery 80A is higher than a first temperature, thereby cooling the battery 80A, and that circulates a fluid for heating the battery 80A between the temperature adjustment unit and the battery 80A when the temperature of the battery 80A is lower than a second temperature, thereby heating the battery.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
