| A solar panel rated at 6 V, 50 mA, provides enough energy to charge faur small NiCd batteries. The problem is, however, that the voltage...
| A battery of solar cells can recharge a NiCd battery with better than 80%, efficiency, provided the solar battery voltage exceeds the fu...
| In miniature circuits, the trend is away from expensive dry button cells and to NiCd button types. These batteries are easy to maintain:...
| This nickel-cadmium (Ni Cd) battery charger is capable of charging up to eight cells individually. The power semiconductors needed to acco...
| The battery charger takes its name from the IC it ts based on: the well-known Type U2400B processor. This IC was designed primarily for u...
| The charger makes cunning use of the properties of a Type 555 timer. The tnternal window comparator of the lC is set to 4.7 V by zener dio...
| Fast charging high-capacity NiCd batteries with large currents does not only save time, but also prolongs their useful life. Moreover, if...
| The perpetual difficulty in designing fast NiCd chargers is determining when the battery is charged, that is, when to stop charging.
| Although it is bound to be replaced within a foreseeable period by environmentally safer types, the nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery is still...
