Abstract

A power charging device with a direct charging mode includes a power conversion module, having a primary-side circuit electrically connected to a primary side of a transformer and an output rectifier circuit electrically connected to a secondary side of the transformer, configured to convert an AC input voltage to a DC output voltage, and a power control module electrically connected to the power conversion module, configured to provide a direct charging mode or a regular USB type-C output power supply mode. The direct charging mode is activated to perform programmable charging when a direct charging agreement is confirmed between the AC to DC power charging device and battery pack, otherwise the regular USB type-C output power supply mode is activated.
