super fast chargers are NOT a good idea, batteries should not be
charged that fast, not good for them ! |

But they don't have batteries on planet vulcan.They vulcanized all of
their batteries millions of years ago.Super fast recharging batteries IS a good idea too if they are the new style Ray O Vac 15 minute batteries that are designed to be recharged with Ray O Vac new style 15 minute recharger.Head on over to the wal mart store and buy youself some of them.Oh,I forgot,they don't have wal mart stores on planet vulcan either. cuhulin |

I have the Rayovac ic3 charger. The batteries have a conductive ring
near the negative terminal. The charger will only charge ic3 batteries at the 15 minute rate. The assumption is these batteries are designed for the 4c charger, much like RC batteries. I suspect the conductive ring is temperature sensitive, which could be use as part of the charging algorithm. A funny thing about battery charging is that charging at a slow rate, say 1/2 C, can be more of a problem than 2C. This is because the changes in terminal voltage are more difficult to detect at the slower charge rate. This is especially true if the charger uses a switching power source since you need to sense the battery voltage changers in the presence of switching noise. If the ic3 uses temperature sensing, then that problem is solved. |
