Main Charge Methods for Rechargeable Batteries


Main Charge Methods for Rechargeable Batteries

Constant Current Charging（CC:Constant Current）

Constant current charging is a method of continuously charging a rechargeable battery at a constant current to prevent overcurrent charge conditions.

There is also a method of charging at a low constant current or varying the current in stages to prevent overvoltage charge）

Constant Voltage Charging（CV:Constant Voltage）

Constant voltage charging is a method of charging at a constant voltage to prevent overcharging.

The charging current is initially high then gradually decreases.

There is also a method where the voltage is initially low then gradually increased to prevent excessive temperature rise in the rechargeable battery）

Constant Power Charging（CP:Constant Power）

A constant charging method characterized by high initial current when the voltage is low, then decreasing current as the voltage gradually increases.

Constant Current Constant Voltage Charging（CCCV:Constant Current , Constant Voltage）

CCCV charging is a typical method of charging rechargeable batteries such as li-ion.

Operation switches between CC charging, which charges with a constant current, and CV that charges at a constant voltage, depending on the voltage of the rechargeable battery.

This is one of the methods used in ROHM charge control ICs.


Trickle Charging

A method of continuously charging the battery with a small current. Its name derives from the trickle of water.
Although the charging time is longer, the advantage is that the battery is not affected even if a small current continues to flow in a fully charged state.
This makes them Ideal for recharging lead-acid batteries, which have a high natural discharge rate, as well as batteries for emergency standby equipment that are not in constant use.

Laser Cutting Machine

Laser cutting     is a fabrication process which employs a focused, high-powered   laser beam   to cut material into custom shapes and designs. This process is suitable for a wide range of materials, including metal, plastic, wood, gemstone, glass, and paper, and can produce precise, intricate, and complex parts without the need for custom-designed tooling. There are several different types of laser cutting available, including fusion cutting, oxidation cutting, and scribing. Each laser cutting process can produce parts with precision, accuracy, and high-quality edge finishes, and with generally less material contamination, physical damage, and waste than with other conventional cutting processes, such as mechanical cutting and waterjet cutting. However, while laser cutting demonstrates certain advantages over more conventional cutting processes, some manufacturing applications can be problematic, such as cutting reflective material or material requiring secondary ma...

Biomechanical engineering

Image
 Biomechanical engineering is a field that integrates principles of mechanical engineering with biological systems, particularly focusing on the interaction between mechanical factors and living organisms. Here are some key aspects and applications of biomechanical engineering: Biomechanics : This involves the study of the mechanical aspects of biological systems, such as how forces affect cells, tissues, and organs. Biomechanical engineers apply principles from mechanics (statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, etc.) to understand and analyze biological structures and functions. Medical Devices : Biomechanical engineers design and develop medical devices such as prosthetics, implants, orthotics, and assistive devices. These devices aim to improve mobility, enhance bodily functions, or replace damaged biological structures. Tissue Engineering : This field combines engineering principles with biology to create biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue function. Bi...

Coordinate Measuring Machine Probes

Image
  A  Coordinate Measuring Machine  is defined by the ability of its probe. As with CMMs, there are several types of probes available. There is the contact probe, which measures the workpieces by making contact with them. The non-contact probe that employs lasers or machine vision probes which scan with optical sensors. Contact probes are a more accurate way of measuring. However, the laser or machine vision probes are far quicker to use, while still holding a high degree of accuracy. There are also multi-sensor probes which combine both touch and optical scanning, giving the benefit of both types in one probe. Coordinate Measuring Machines: Contact Probes The two most common contact probes are Touch Trigger Probes and Analog Scanning Probes. Touch Trigger Probes: A touch trigger probe has a stylus that is attached to a bearing plate. This is then connected to pressure sensors inside the housing of the probe. Each time the probe makes contact with the workpiece, it generat...
