Abstract: The constant current followed by constant voltage (CC-CV) charging method is commonly employed for battery charging, effectively extending battery life and reducing charging time. However, as charging progresses, the battery’s internal resistance increases, complicating the charging circuit. This paper designs a wireless power transfer system utilizing an LCL coupling network for battery charging. The system employs frequency modulation (FM) to manage its CC and CV output characteristics at two fixed frequency points. The influence of the LCL coupling network parameters on system output characteristics was investigated using MATLAB. A simulation model was developed in the PSIM environment to validate the CC and CV output characteristics. The simulation results show that the system has load-independent constant-current and constant-voltage characteristics at two different frequency points. In order to verify the theoretical analysis, an experimental platform was also established. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system operates effectively in CC mode, maintaining constant output current across various loads, while in CV mode, it effectively regulates output voltage for different loads. The designed frequency modulation controller ensures a rapid response to sudden changes in load resistance, regardless of operating in CC or CV modes.
