Advances in Battery Charging for Portable Video: Low-Cost, Microcomputer-Controlled Fast Charging for Ni-Cads
The use of a microcomputer to control a fast charger for ni-cad batteries resolves many problems and brings other benefits. This article describes a new microcomputer-controlled fast charger that adjusts automatically to a wide range of batteries. An optional add-on sequencer completes the fast-charging system. Future developments incorporating microcomputers include chargers for silver-zinc batteries and battery-management systems. Military and industrial applications are also being explored.
