Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent worn-out of a battery of a mobile equipment with simple configuration by detecting a voltage drop of the battery in the mobile equipment so as to fully charge up the battery in the mobile equipment for a predetermined time. CONSTITUTION:When a voltage of a battery 3 of a mobile equipment is dropped, a voltage drop detection circuit 4 uses a microcomputer 5 being a control means to light up an LED 7 being a display element. When a mobile equipment is put on a charging base, the lighting state of the LED 7 of the mobile equipment is detected by a photo transistor(TR) and a control signal is sent to a timer circuit. A time to charge up the battery 3 from a low voltage state to a fully charged state is set to the timer circuit to turn on a control TR for charge output control for a predetermined time. When the charging output control TR is turned on, a base potential of the charging output control TR goes to a low level and the charging output control TR is turned on. Thus, a charging current is supplied from a power supply of the charging base to a charging terminal 1 of the mobile equipment via the charging terminal.
