NiMH Trickle Charger with Status Indication

2021-10-26
In spite of the considerable media attention to the concept of recyclable power sources, usage of rechargeable Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) cells has been limited. The combined charger and cell cost have been a mitigating factor in favour of primary cells. The high internal impedances of primary cells are not suitable for the surge currents needed for digital cameras, DC motors and walkie-talkies. NiMH cells exhibit low internal impedances and, as such, are particularly viable in these applications. The digital camera user may be more discerning about using the NiMH batteries, but the toy market is still dominated by the primary cells solely due to cost considerations. In the long run, rechargeable batteries are more cost-effective. Commercial NiMH chargers can be classified into two areas:
● Fast chargers that take 15 minutes to three hours to charge two or four cells.
● Trickle chargers that take about 15 hours to charge two or four cells.
