Abstract

A charging assembly and a charging control method are provided for charging a battery pack according to an actual voltage of a battery in a battery pack. The charging assembly includes a battery pack having a battery with a rated charging current, a charger having a charging module for outputting an output voltage and an output current, and a charging circuit between the charging module and the battery. A method of operation includes: detecting the output current and the output voltage; calculating an actual voltage value on the battery; and determining whether to decrease or keep the output current or increase the output current of the charging module.
