Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries are widely used in consumer electronics due to their high energy density and long life. Constant current charging is often recommended by manufacturers. Several ...

The design of the charger is similar to that of many commercially available chargers. The charger consists of a mains adaptor, two resistors and a light-emitting diode (LED). In practical use, this ...

Care must be exercised when you try to “quickly” charge a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) cell or battery pack at a current density that approaches or exceeds one-third of its capacity (C/3). As the battery ...

Linear Technology’s LTC4010 is a complete NiMH/NiCd battery charger solution that requires no microcontroller or firmware programming. Suitable for use in portable instruments, the device includes ...
