(canceled)
A portable charging system for charging a multi-cell drone battery, comprising:
- a) a system battery configured to power the portable charging system during a portable operation to charge the multi-cell drone battery;
- b) a recharging circuit for providing, in a system battery recharge operation, the system battery with sufficient charge for powering the portable operation to charge the multi-cell drone battery, the recharging circuit comprising:
- a power input for receiving power during the system battery recharge operation of the system battery;
- and
- a protector coupled between the power input and the system battery, the protector configured to protect the system battery during the system battery recharge operation;
- c) a charging module coupled to the system battery and configured to receive power from the system battery to charge the multi-cell drone battery in a drone battery charge operation as part of the portable operation, the charging module comprising:
- a drone battery charge control circuit configured to provide charging control of the multi-cell drone battery during the drone battery charge operation;
- and
- a drone battery charging status monitor coupled to the drone battery charge control circuit, the drone battery charging status monitor being configured to control operation of the drone battery charge control circuit based on a multi-cell drone battery status;
- and
- d) a drone battery connector configured to connect the multi-cell drone battery to the charging module.
