Abstract

A battery charging system includes a master charger that receives a supply voltage, outputs a master charging current based on the supply voltage, and selectively outputs a slave charger control signal. At least one slave charger receives the slave charger control signal from the master charger, receives the supply voltage, and selectively outputs a slave charging current based on the slave charger control signal and the supply voltage.
