Method of charging a battery using asymmetrical current

Abstract

A method of charging a discharged battery by creating a level direct current carrier and a riding alternating current charging vector which rides on the level direct current, the alternating current having a repeating waveform comprising two phase displacements per wavelength. The phase displacements comprise a first amplitudinal increase and a second amplitudinal increase, a first amplitudinal decrease and a second amplitudinal decrease, the second amplitudinal increase beginning substantially at the same time that the phase angle of the alternating current charging vector returns to a zero angle, the second amplitudinal decrease ending substantially at the same time that the phase angle of the alternating current charging vector returns to a forty five degree angle; cyclically repeating the waveform at a constant angular frequency, phase period and amplitude; and applying such alternating current through battery terminals for a sufficient period of time for the level direct current carrier to rise substantially to the original direct current voltage of the battery in accordance with the affectivity of the alternating current charging vector and to charge the battery.
