DEVICES TO BE CHARGED AND CHARGING CONTROL METHODS

Provided is a device to be charged. The device includes: a battery supply circuit, including first and second cells configured to switch between being coupled in parallel with each other and being coupled in series with each other; a charging interface, through which the device receives output voltage and current of an adapter; a first charging circuit coupled between the charging interface and the battery supply circuit, and configured to convert the output voltage and apply the converted output voltage on both ends of the first and second cells coupled in parallel; and a second charging circuit coupled between the charging interface and the battery supply circuit, and configured to directly apply the output voltage and current on both ends of the first and second cells coupled in series, or directly apply the output voltage and current on both ends of the first and second cells coupled in parallel.
