"Intelligent NiCd Charger Avoids Battery Damage From High Currents
Care must be exercised when you try to “quickly” charge a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) cell or battery pack at a current density that approaches or exceeds one-third of its capacity (C/3). As the battery becomes fully charged, the high charging current raises both the internal cell pressure and temperature, which can quickly degrade the battery or destroy it. One way to avoid damage is to monitor the differential temperature (TDIFF) between the...
