A vehicle charge system includes: a voltage detection section configured to detect terminal voltage of a storage battery; and a charge control section configured to control charging of the storage battery until the terminal voltage reaches full-charge voltage, while switching between a first charging mode and a second charging mode, on the basis of the terminal voltage. During a period in which the terminal voltage is equal to or lower than first voltage, the charge control section charges the storage battery by the first charging mode. After the terminal voltage has exceeded the first voltage, the charge control section charges the storage battery by the second charging mode. After the terminal voltage has exceeded the first voltage, if the terminal voltage has reduced to be second voltage, the charge control section charges the storage battery by the first charging mode until the terminal voltage is restored to the first voltage.
A vehicle charge system for charging a storage battery configured to supply power to an auxiliary device, the vehicle charge system comprising:
A charge control method executed by a computer of a vehicle charge system for charging a storage battery configured to supply power to an auxiliary device, the vehicle charging system including a charger configured to perform plug-in charging to the storage battery while being connected to a vehicle via a charging cable, or a charger configured to perform non-contact charging to the storage battery while being connected to the vehicle in a non-contact manner, the charge control method comprising:
