The charging rack is intended for use with a vehicle internal combustion engine which includes a battery and an ignition switch. The charging circuit includes a diode and a switch connected across the diode which in operation enable the battery to be charged to its full nominal voltage which may be equal to the nominal voltage while preventing discharge of the battery to be charged into the electrical system of the internal combustion engine, particularly when the engine is being started.
