CHARGING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF A BATTERY OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

The present invention relates to a charging system and method of a battery of an electric vehicle, in particular a bicycle, comprising a charging station (10; 100) and at least one charging cable (12) connectable to a battery (2) to be charged. The charging station (10; 100) comprises at least one power unit (102) provided with a power card adapted to charge the battery and a female-type connector (22) adapted to connect to a male-type connector (24) of the charging cable. The charging cable and the charging station are provided with respective authentication circuits configured to implement a cable authentication algorithm which, in case of a positive outcome, enables charging the battery. The charging system allows charging batteries of different types and working voltages.
