Early generation battery-powered tools relied on nickel-cadmium (NiCad or Nicd) or nickel metal hydride (NIMH) batteries. Because of the relatively low power density of these batteries and the fact ...

Trickle charging is a method where a low and steady current is sent to a battery over a long period. This method is quite common for the batteries that are stored or are not in regular use. The goal ...

Basics of battery-charging systems. Regulating a charging MOSFET. Partitioning of the fuel gauge. Implementation of a battery-management system. 1. The battery fuel gauge can be implemented on the ...

Charging systems for electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs) are, of course, crucial for powering batteries and ultimately having them operate efficiently. They can be divided into ...
