How Charging the Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery?

How Charging the Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery? How Charging the Nickel-Metal Hydride Battery?
Chargers for NiMH batteries are very similar to those of the NiCd system but the electronics is generally more complex. To begin with, the NiMH produces a very small voltage drop at full charge. This NDV is almost non-existent at charge rates below 0.5C and elevated temperatures. Aging and cell mismatch works further against the already minute voltage delta. The cell mismatch gets worse with age and increased cycle count, which makes the use of the NDV increasingly more difficult.

The NDV of a NiMH charger must respond to a voltage drop of 16mV or less. Inc View the rest of this article
