Chargers for nickel-based batteries
Von laptop, 07:37Some battery manufacturers do not fully form the batteries before shipment. The full power of a Dell Inspiron 6000 battery is achieved only after the battery has been formatted by a number of charging and discharging cycles, either with a battery analyzer or through normal use. In some cases, 50 to 100 cycles needed for full power. In one specific formatting the full power after 5 to 7 cycles is reached.
Most rechargeable cells are equipped with a safety valve in order to allow the escape at a charge resulting overpressure. A safety valve on nickel-based Dell Inspiron 9300 battery will open 10 to 13 bar or 150 to 200 psi (the pressure of a car tire is about 2.3 bar or 35 psi). With a resealable vent, no damage occurs after any use. Can cause leakage of the electrolyte and the seal may have a leak. A white powder on the valve body indicates that the valve was working.
The quick charge improves the charging efficiency. 1C, the charging efficiency with approximately 90% and the load time for an empty battery is slightly more than 1 hour. With the 0.1C charging efficiency drops to 70% and the charge time is 14 hours or more.
With a 70% initial charge, the charge acceptance of a healthy nickel-cadmium battery 100%. Almost all energy is absorbed and the DELL Studio 1537 battery remains cool. The charge Currents of the C-coefficients can take place several times, without the battery warms up. Ultra-fast chargers use this opportunity to recharge a battery within a few minutes to 70%. The 70% threshold, the DELL Inspiron 1300 battery gradually loses the ability to accept charge. The pressure increases and the temperature increases.
Nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries with high capacities tend to heat more than standard batteries when they load quickly. This is partly due to the increase in internal cell resistance. To mitigate this increase in temperature and still achieve short charge times, advanced chargers to work beginning with a high charge current, which is then reduced to the Ladeakzeptant adapt.
Interspersed improve discharge pulses during charging, the charge acceptance of nickel-based batteries. This is also referred to as Burb or reverse load charging method supports the regeneration of the gases formed during the charge. The results of which are better performance, smaller memory effect and longer life expectancy.
The full-charge detection is based on a combination of voltage drop at full charge (negative delta V) value of the temperature rise (dT / dt), absolute temperature and the time.The charger uses the first occurrence of the criterion for charging cancel.
In an attempt to gain some additional capacity points, some chargers allow certain overloads. The resulting gain in capacity is a good Dell Inspiron 1501 battery in about 6%. The disadvantage is a reduction of the possible charge cycles. Instead of 350 to 400 charge cycles, which would be expected to be achieved, a battery charger with this aggressive method, only about 300 cycles.
After an initial quick charge using a few quick charger a scheduled full charge followed by a trickle charge. The recommended trickle charge for nickel-cadmium is 0.05C to 0.1C. Because of the impending memory effect and compatibility with the floating charge nickel metal is kept as low as possible.
However, it is difficult if not impossible to load nickel-metal hydride slowly. From 0.1C to 0.3C, the characteristics of voltage and temperature are rather undefined and the measurement of the full load condition is uncertain, and the charger must be coupled with a timer. A negative overload occurs when a partially and fully charged battery is loaded with a fixed timer. The same happens with an older battery, showing a loss of capacity. Overloading can be done already, although the nickel-metal hydride Dell Inspiron 1720 battery when you touch seems cool.
Cheap chargers may be able to carry out any proper full charge. Some show a full charge, immediately after reaching the peak voltage or peak temperature. Such chargers are often seen due to the short loading times and a moderate price.
Simple Guidelines
· Avoidance of elevated temperature during charge. Do not use Dell XPS M1330 AC Adapter that bring the batteries to 'cook'.
· A charger for nickel-metal hydride can also be used for nickel-cadmium, but not vice versa. A built for nickel-cadmium battery charger will charge a nickel-metal hydride battery.
· Nickel-based batteries prefer fast charge. The use of slow charge leads to crystal development (memory).
· If not removed, used, and charging the battery from the charger immediately before the next use. Do not leave a nickel-based Dell Inspiron 1525 battery for more than a few days in the charger, even if a floating charge carried out.
A well-designed charger is a fairly complex device. Short-term savings may come at a user in the long run expensive. The choice of a well-designed battery charger will justify the investment in the long run with better performance and longer-living having batteries.
