What a fast chargers does, is to use the control circuitry in the battery in order to rapidly charge the battery without damaging the cells’ elements. Most of these chargers have a fan to help dissipate the heat and keep it under control. Most of these charges have the dual capability of overnight charging NiMH [...]

Basically, there are three battery charger configurations–single bank, multi-bank and multi-station. A single bank charger is one that is designed to provide a single voltage to recharge a single battery or bank of batteries. It is by far the most widely used configuration. A multi-bank charger provides single voltages to multiple banks of batteries by [...]

A Swedish inventor named Waldmar Jungner came up with the nickel-cadmium battery in 1899. Back then, the materials were expensive compared to other battery types available and its use was limited to special applications. In 1932, the active materials were placed inside a porous nickel-plated electrode and in 1947 research began on a sealed nickel-cadmium [...]

With Milwakee, DeWalt, Bosch, Mikika and others changing from NiCad to Lithium-Ion batteries you will notice increased performance. The batteries tend to be lighter and smaller and also last approximately twice as long. Lithium-Ion batteries don’t have the “fade-away” that NiCads are so loved for. The last cut is as strong as the first. They [...]

Anyone that’s been to the gas pump recently knows the cost of gas is just insane. Seeing as the national price per gallon of regular gas is over $3.08 and $3.37 for premium, it is hitting us all in the pocketbook. There are several companies working on better batteries for the gas-electric hybrids that are [...]

An intelligent charger isn’t going to play chess with you or anything, but what it does do is monitor the battery’s voltage, temperature, and/or time under the charge. The charger then adjusts the output current to give the optimum charge. For Ni-Cad and NiMH batteries, the chargers slowly increase the voltage during the charging process [...]
