The Lead-Acid battery has become the power source of several electron product. The major drawback is that it requires long charging time. This thesis is to design a programmable rapid charger and energy recovery scheme with DSP. Furthermore zero-voltage-switching(ZVS) capability of the adopted asymmetrical half-bridge topology enhances the power density of the charger. The energy recovery cell stores the negative pulse energy into DC bus capacitor temporarily to avoid unnecessary energy consumption in conventional schemes. This thesis is experimentally verified on 12V/7.5Ah nonspillable sealed-lead assembled batteries. According to experimental results, the charger can achieve the goal of rapid charge within 1 hour. Because of using the rapid charge algorithm, it can give different charging section depends on temperature and voltage of battery, and it can adjust the over-temperature and the over-voltage of battery to guarantee the battery be charged safely. In this thesis, a prototype module is implemented with mature protection condition. Some experiments are shown to verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme.
