A battery charger is an equipment used to provide energy to the battery by passing an electric current through it. Battery charger consists of components including power circuit, regulator circuit, rectifier circuit, control circuit, and fault detection circuit. A battery functions by converting the chemical energy stored within the battery into electrical power. Moreover, the battery needs to be recharged once the chemical energy stored in the battery is exhausted during its conversion into electrical energy. Therefore, a battery charger is utilized to provide Direct Current (DC) to the battery to reload the used-up electrolyte.
The increasing adoption of consumer electronics devices among households is driving the growth of the battery charger market. The proliferation of portable consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, and tablets has significantly increased the demand for battery chargers that enable continuous operation of electronic devices by replenishing the energy stored in the batteries. Moreover, battery chargers provide extended battery life and fast charging capabilities to allow consumers electronics devices to function efficiently for prolonged periods. For instance, in October 2022, CTEK Sweden AB launched a new battery charger called CS ONE and maintainer with APTOTM (Adaptive Charging) technology for efficient and safe charging of lead-acid or lithium batteries. Thus, the growing adoption of portable electronics devices among consumers is accelerating the growth of battery charger market.
The increasing adoption of electric vehicles due to the improved vehicle range and battery capacity is accelerating the growth of battery charger market. Electric vehicles use high-capacity lithium-ion batteries to provide improved energy density, discharge tolerance, cycle life, and faster re-charge times. Therefore, the primary function of battery chargers is to convert AC power from the electrical grid to DC power that is stored in the vehicle's battery pack. For instance, in November 2021, FreeWire Technologies launched Boost Charger 150 electric vehicle (EV) charger that improves charging speeds by 25%. Consequently, electric vehicle battery chargers are linked to the battery of EVs that extract power from the grid to charge the battery. Thus, the key features of the battery chargers to convert AC power into DC to power electric vehicles and its functioning is contributing to the battery charger market growth.
Batteries generate heat during charging and discharging processes due to enthalpy changes, electrochemical polarization and resistive heating inside a battery. The battery generates heat through the oxidation and reduction of ions during the charging and discharging process, thereby increasing the battery temperature of the battery. As a result, the generation of extreme heat leads to battery corrosion that shortens the life of the battery. Therefore, the reduced performance of the batteries due to heat generation is hindering the growth of the battery charger market.
The number of charge cycles that a battery provides is limited based on the type of battery and its usage. Consumer electronics devices such as laptops, tablets, and others comprise of lithium-ion batteries that possess 300 to 500 charging cycles. As a result, the battery starts to degrade and the capacity to hold a charge gradually decreases. Therefore, continuous charging has an effect on the overall lifespan of the battery. Consequently, the limited charging cycles of battery chargers is hindering the growth of the battery charger market.
The application of battery chargers for the storage of renewable energy is expected to present potential opportunities for the growth of the battery charger market during the forecast period. Battery chargers are expected to optimize the utilization of renewable energy, storage of excess energy for future applications, and enhance grid stability. Moreover, the growing awareness regarding renewable energy systems coupled with battery storage has increased the deployment of battery-based backup power systems. Consequently, battery chargers play a crucial role in storage and management of renewable energy, leading to market growth during the forecast period.
