1, the pricing of common sense
Here, we must first note that the load is an important step in the use of rechargeable batteries. Load appropriate and reasonable to extend the battery life is very good, while the random brutal life of the rechargeable Laptop battery will be greatly affected. On one side, said the current lithium batteries are based on the basic package of each product individually and not jointly, if different products to provide their own equipment for loading, and not common, when in service as long as you can use to follow their instructions. While it is the introduction of the battery refers mainly nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel-hydride batteries in metal.
The battery compartment on nickel and nickel hydride batteries, metal, there are two ways in which we are known as “fast charge” and “trickle charge”. Quick charge and trickle charge is the charge of an important concept, and only learned about the fast charge and trickle charge in order to properly grasp the load.
Firstly, the fast charge and trickle charge is a relative concept. Some people have asked, my charger with charge current of 200mA is not load quickly? The answer is not absolute, should have answered some batteries is fast charging, and some batteries, it is simply loaded slow. So how can we judge fast charge or slow charge it?
For example, a 5, Ni-MH power capacity IBM ThinkPad T41 battery of 1200 mAh, while the other section is 1600mAh. We have a battery capacity is called 1B, 1C see is a logical concept, the same 1C, are not equal.
During loading, the load current is less than 0.1C, we called the trickle charge. As its name implies, refers to the current very low. In general, the burden of maintaining the battery can be comprehensive without harming the battery, but the trickle charge to use the time spent far too long, so rarely used alone, but rather, and other pricing methods used in combination.
0.1C, 0.2C charge current between the two, we called the trickle charge. Load current is greater than 0.2C is less than 0.8c is a fast charge. When the load current is greater than 0.8c, we call it super-fast loading.
Precisely because the concept of 1C is a logical rather than absolute values, therefore, according to 1C slow conversion of the fast charge is a charge of relative value. Mentioned in the previous example 200mA charging current for Dell Inspiron 1420 battery 1200mAh fills slowly, but it is for the 700mAH battery fast charge.
Aware of the concept of fast and slow filling, we also need to understand the situation charger can charge the battery properly. Charger on the market can be divided into two types of constant current charger and automatic battery charger
2, constant current charger
Constant current charger is the most common chargers, nickel-cadmium batteries of the time we started to use the charger with constant current. Constant current chargers typically use a load current slow, its use is relatively simple, just put the battery in the battery can be charged storage. Note that the calculation of the charging time must be accurate.
The calculation of the charge time has a simple formula: Hour = 1.5C / load current. For example: on the charger 1200mAH hp Pavilion ZE2000 battery charge current of 150mA, then the time to 1800mAH/150mA equal to 12 hours. Of course, in many cases can not be calculated exactly the time we can choose the nearest half an hour to facilitate the chronograph. For example: charger current 160mA, right 1400mAH battery charging, then time for 2100mAH/160mA about 13 hours, instead of calculating the points.
Construction of a simple constant current charger, labor stability, is a good way to charge little effect on battery life. But it also has its limitations, we must first calculate the time, while nickel-metal hydride batteries with a capacity for growth, the constancy of the time course load required for longer and longer, the use of ’cause a number of drawbacks. Thus, in recent years, rapid charger system is also very popular
3 autoloader and quick
Fast automatic charger in these two years are always better received, he has the speed of loading, security and so on. But there are also some people have doubts about this because of the fast chargers are essentially using current fast charge to charge, the impact of these people will be scared about the life of the sony VGP-BPS5 battery. So the current situation?
Firstly need to be sure that the current charging high impact on the life of the battery is very low, and in many cases, we use fast charge and even ultra-fast load, the current load can sometimes reach 2C or higher. Mainstream is not a killer battery, the real impact on battery life is the heat capacity at high current generated during charging.
We charge the battery when using the nominal voltage above the battery voltage to make, but the battery itself, the load current produces a back EMF, it is part of the current to compensate the the back-EMF and in vain for power and transformed into heat. When the load current is larger, more electrical energy is converted into heat, charging the higher temperature. Too high a temperature on rechargeable batteries is harmful, and a slow charger with constant current, because it is slow charging, the heat generated within the control box, so no need to take special measures. But in the ADF rapidly using a fast charge current will generate high temperatures. Therefore, currently available rapid charger automatically have adopted various methods to reduce the load when the temperature, typically using the cosine law is not a constant current load, but it has intensity current wave of cosines The changes that will reduce heat buildup, thus controlling the temperature within a certain range. Since this type of charger is no longer using the constant load current, charger current is constant in the past, a clear distinction between
To use the quick charger Another problem is that when the charging time is counted if you forget to stop after charging damage the toshiba PA3284U-1BRS battery charger to be much larger than the current slow constant overload resulting damage. Therefore, to solve the problem of overload, voltage fast charger is generally used as the France and other methods to determine the slope to determine if the battery is nearly full, these chargers are used to control the circuit, or IC chip to perform this task. When the battery is almost full, the control circuit will automatically slow charge mode, trickle charge the battery. Used trickle charge current of the battery on the advantages are obvious, the one mentioned above, can trickle charge the battery charge very complete, followed by anxiety billing question, if the maximum use of chargers such advantage n is not obliged to go computing time. The specific use to consult the manual for instructions specific to avoid improper operation.
It is a branch of the fast charger is ultra-fast charger, line battery charger applications of these small, design, structure and processes are very complex, so the prices are quite expensive.
On special occasions, people need in a time short of a good rechargeable apple M8403 battery, which requires the use of ultra-high speed charger. As the ultra-fast charger requires a lot of load current, and some have even used the 2C-3C load current, the heating problem is particularly serious, just by using the cosine wave accusation is not enough, both of these chargers adopted a cosine wave in the post – Insert a landfill very short this approach. This approach can reduce the back-EMF due to the consumption charge current generated by the accumulation of heat, so an additional control of temperature.
4, discharge
Were introduced to a memory effect of rechargeable batteries, we also know that when the memory effect gradually accumulated, would be the actual use of the battery capacity has dropped significantly. To reduce the memory effect caused by the negative role of an effective discharge. In general, nickel-cadmium batteries because of the memory effect most obvious, it is recommended to use 5-10 times after repeated charge for a discharge, while nickel-metal hydride memory effect of batteries must be better, you can charge made after the use of 20-30 times per discharge.
On the market a number of high-end loader to carry out their functions, but the vast majority of feeder medium and low Aspire 3000 battery is impossible to perform functions, then how can we do? To understand the principles of the landfill, we can also try to have the battery discharge.
We already know that nickel-cadmium batteries and nickel-metal hydride battery nominal voltage is 1.2V, but in fact, the battery voltage is a change of values, the adequacy of electricity around the volatility of 1.2 V or more. Generally fluctuated between 1V-1.4V, different brands of batteries vary in regularity, the fluctuation of voltage is not fully consistent with
Discharge the battery is to use a low current discharge, the battery voltage falls slowly to 0.9V-1V between the discharge should stop. Not recommended under the discharge of the battery of 0.9V, it will cause excessive discharge, the battery is not irreversible damage, said on a rechargeable battery is not suitable for use in appliances to the remote, because the use of the remote being very low for a long period of the remote is easy to use cause an excessive discharge. Following a performance of the VGP-BPS9A/B battery, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find the battery capacity has recovered its original level, so when the battery capacity has been found to decline, it is preferable to a landfill.
His discharge the battery so there is easy way to make a small bead like electric charge, but you must use the meter to monitor voltage changes, to avoid excessive discharge.
For the shipper to choose the shipper to choose fast or slow charger with constant current, which depends mainly on the orientation of their own use. Such as the frequent use of digital cameras and other equipment from a friend, you should choose a quick charger, to meet time requirements, and even ultra-fast charger, you can buy, but only the use of portable devices listening as a friend, a constant current charger will be able to meet the needs of
In controlling the correct charge and knowledge of the landfill, everything will be better able to use their own rechargeable batteries. Please do not adhere rigidly to a fast charge.
