Details of charge at constant current (see appendix)

The current is constant troughout the charging period. 

The voltage of the battery rises during the charging period, reaching a maximum value when the charge is complete. 

This value depends on:
   

- The charging current 

   

- Temperature: voltage must be corrected by +0.005 Volt per degree above 20°C 

   

  and -0.005 Volt per degree below 20°C

   

 

Example:

 

   

 

Read voltage at 27°C = 2.73 Volts 

   

 

Corrected voltage at 20°C = 2.73 + (7 x 0.005) = 2.765 Volts

 What happens at the end of charge? 

    

- The temperature may rise quickly and excessive gassing maybe produced (which homogenises the electrolyte). 

   

-  V

Time to equalise the specific gravity

Example:

If the room temperature is about 20°C and the initial charge is carried out at 2.35V, it will take 13 to 30 hours to fully 

charge the cell. 

The table above applies if the specific gravity variance after filling and the rest period is below 0.010. 

If the variance is higher than 0.010, the recharge at constant voltage will take longer. 

In such case, it is better to recharge the battery at constant current.
