Appendix B 

 

Charge Algorithms 

The C7000-C series battery analyzer uses two different algorithms to charge a 
battery: a constant current (CC) method for NiCd and NIMH batteries and a 
constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) method for Li-ion, Li-Ph and SLA 
batteries. 

NiCd and NIMH batteries 

The C7x00 analyzer uses a constant current algorithm to charge NiCd and NiMH 
batteries. A current and voltage plot is shown for a typical NiCd battery serviced on 
the analyzer using default values. This plot is similar to a NiMH battery.
