What's the Li-Ion Battery Chargers steps?

Li-ion battery charger are designed to charge Li-ion batteries and allow them to be reused. Li-ion chargers can monitor the current, voltage, and temperature to regulate the charging process. Li-ion battery charger have multiple charging phases, including:

1. Trickle charge:This stage is typically used when the battery voltage (VBATT) is low, such as when the battery is deeply discharged or disconnected. During trickle charge, the charger sources a small current to charge the battery pack’s capacitance.

2. Pre-charge:In this stage, the charger begins to slowly charge the battery so that VBATT slowly rises at a safe speed.

3. Constant-current (CC) charge:CC charge, also called fast charging, is when the battery can safely handle larger currents. This stage continues until VBATT reaches its full or floating voltage.

4. Constant-voltage (CV) charge:This stage guarantees safe operation. The charger IC monitors VBATT during CC charging, then switches to CV charging once VBATT exceeds the battery cell voltage in the pack.

5. Charge termination: Charge termination denotes when charging is complete, and VBATT begins to decay.

NASN Li-ion charger  and other Li-related chargers can often incorporate protection features such as over-voltage protection (OVP), short-circuit protection (SCP), and battery voltage protections. In addition, they allso have configurable protection thresholds, limits, and values, which allow them to accommodate a wide array of BMS applications.
