In the initial stage of charging, the battery is charged using a constant power charging method until the battery voltage reaches the upper limit voltage (4.2 V).
To address this issue, a multi-stage voltage charging method can be employed. This approach uses a lower charging voltage initially, then increases it as the battery terminal voltage rises. The constant current charging method charges the battery with a steady current.
The total charging time in the CC-CV charging method varies depending on the battery capacity and the value of the charging current in the CC mode. Generally, the battery life and charging efficiency increase as the charging current decreases under the CC mode.
There are four commonly used and popular charging methods: CC charging is a simple method that uses a small constant current to charge the battery during the whole charging process. CC charging stops whena predefined value is reached. This method is widely used for charging NiCd or NiMH batteries, as well as Li-ion batteries.
Understanding The Battery Charging Modes: Constant Current and Constant Voltage Modes Charging is the process of replenishing the battery energy in a controlled manner. To charge a battery, a DC power source with a voltage higher than the battery, along with a current regulation mechanism, is required.
