INTRODUCTION• Charging is the way to restore energy back into batteries that are “empty”.
• Rechargeable batteries are important because they can be reused. • Batteries can be charged in many ways to produce certain results. - Charge #1 fast charges batteries for electric vehicles applications.- Charge #2 recovers batteries that have been unused for an extended period of time.
•Charges affect many important battery aspects:- Battery Life - Battery Capacity - Battery Performance

BATTERY EFFECTS• Internal Battery Resistance - As the battery gets increasingly “full”, it becomes harder to squeeze in the remaining energy.
• Self Discharge - Batteries naturally decrease in energy as chemicals slowly react inside the battery.
SIMPLE CHARGE TYPES• Constant Current- Charges at a certain current for a specified time.- As internal battery resistance increases and current does not drop, temperature can increase. This may damage the battery and be a safety hazard. • Trickle Charge- Same as constant current, but uses very low currents. - Low current allow “full” batteries resist further charging while empty batteries “catch up”.

EXAMPLE PROFILE 1: Begins charge with a high initial current and then drops to a lower current.
POSSIBLE RESULT: May produce good charge time, but reduces battery performance.
EXAMPLE PROFILE 1: Begins charging with a low current then rises to a high current.
POSSIBLE RESULT: May have poor charge efficiency and damages battery because of extreme heat and reduces battery capacity.

CHARGING CURRENT VS. TEMPERATURE• Intense Charging - More current flows through wires and battery - Generates lots of heat - Could damage the fragile internal materials
PRESENT TECHNOLOGY• Terminates when: - Threshold temperature is reached - Temperature change reaches a certain slope,• This allows the battery to cool• Resumes the charge until it reaches that temperature again. • These pauses waste time.• Stop-and-go charging could damage the battery.
FUTURE RESEARCH - Temperature regulated charge algorithms
