Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to reducing the size of parallel charging circuits for charging a battery in a portable device, while still effectively providing input current sensing and reverse current blocking capabilities. One example battery charging circuit generally includes: (1) a first charging circuit comprising a first charging output connectable to a battery and a first converter to provide power to the first charging output; and (2) a second charging circuit comprising a second charging output connectable to the battery, a second converter to provide power to the second charging output, a first transistor coupled between an output of the second converter and the second charging output, and a current-sensing circuit coupled to the output of the second converter to sense a current through the first transistor.
