Method of charging a battery of a robotic device

摘要

A method of charging a battery of a device (40), the method comprising the steps of:
providing a non-charging energy to charging terminals (16) of a charger (10); detecting a presence of a robotic device (40) docked with the charger (10) by recognizing a load formed by a circuit in the charger (10) combined with a complementary circuit in the robotic device (40); and increasing energy to the charging terminals (16) to a charging current to charge the battery.
