Abstract
A charging system of an electric vehicle battery is provided. The charging system has a charging station and at least one charging cable connectable to a battery to be charged. The charging station has at least one power unit provided with a power card adapted to charge the battery and a female-type connector adapted to connect to a male-type connector of the at least one charging cable. The at least one charging cable and the charging station have respective authentication circuits configured to implement a cable authentication algorithm which, in case of positive outcome, enables charging the battery. The charging system allows charging batteries of different types and working voltages. A method for charging an electric vehicle battery is also provided.
