Circuit Diagram

The circuit diagram of a battery charger is shown above. The ac source and the inductance in series with it can represent a transformer and its leakage inductance as viewed from its secondary. In a battery charger circuit, the current supplied by the source is usually discontinuous and the load across the battery is usually very light.
