A battery charger (10) and system and method for use of the same are disclosed for increasing a charge of a battery. In one embodiment of the battery charger (10), an input (14) for an electric charging power source is configured to supply electrical charging power to a rechargeable battery (12) via an output circuit portion (16) interposed therebetween. A transfer function circuit portion is configured to sense the voltage of the rechargeable battery (12) as a sensing voltage such that the change in the sensing voltage is directly proportional to the internal impedance of the rechargeable battery (12). A control logic circuit portion (20) is configured to select between a constant current, variable voltage operational mode, a constant current, scalable voltage operational mode, and a variable current, constant voltage operational mode to furnish rapid recharging of the rechargeable battery (12). |
