Abstract
A method and system for battery charging. In some aspects, an electrical combination including a battery charger operable to supply a charging current to a battery to charge the battery and a battery including a switch having an interrupt condition, in which the switch is operable to interrupt a discharge current from the battery. The battery is electrically connectable to the battery charger and the supply of the charging current from the battery charger to the battery is enabled when the switch is in the interrupt condition.
