Battery chargers are usually just a circuit breaker, a specially wound
transformer, and a bridge rectifier. The transformer is wound so as to limit
the short circuit current, and the circuit breaker has a time delay so as
not to trip out unless short circuit current is drawn for a certain amount
of time. Some old type chargers used a special type of light bulb to limit
the short circuit current.
