Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to lighten a battery in weight and to use it for a long time by combining a primary battery of a large energy density with a secondary battery of a small energy density to make them a combination battery. CONSTITUTION:For a primary battery (e.g. a zinc/air battery) 2, a battery having a larger energy density than a secondary battery (e.g. a nickel/cadmium battery) 3 is used. The secondary battery 3 is charged from this primary battery 2 and supplies a power source to a load 6. During the supply of the power source to the load 6 from the secondary battery 3, a current limiting means 4 limits a charging cirrent from the primary battery 2 to the secondary battery 3. According to this constitution, a combination battery l thus constructed can be lightened in weight and used for a long time.
