Delta can be translated as a Change. So if the charger senses a change in voltage so that the Voltage drops which means negative within X amount of time it will notice the battery is fully charged.
See this graph that HKJ made and look at the Red line. Just before it stops charging you can see it going down. The problem with low C charge rates is that the Voltage drop is difficult to measure. Therefore it is better to use a. Also notice that the black line, temperature rises at the same time, they go hand in hand. When a battery is depleted the Voltage is lower than when fully charged. When you charge a battery, the Voltage will rise over time.
But at a certain Voltage, the battery stops increasing its Voltage, and therefore the charger could determine to stop charging. The 0 dV refers to 0 Voltage difference at x amount of time. A charger like the Lacrosse BC probably uses this termination, especially at a lower current. This is still not a recommended termination for NiMH. This algorithm will charge a battery with a constant current that stays until the Constant Voltage is reached.
This is used with charging Lithium-Ion batteries for example, so Panasonic NiMH chargers do not have this charge algorithm. Take a look at the following graph by HKJ. Although constant current is used often for a longer period, they usually slow down when the battery is almost full. Trickle charge is usually referred to as keeping a battery on the charger at a very low charge current.
This is meant to keep the battery as full as possible over an extended period of time. It might even be the wrong terminology as it is a fairly high Trickle charge and sometimes people call it a top-off charge. The BQ-CC17 on the other hand does not use this topping off. Likely because it uses a lower current, to begin with.
No, this has nothing to do with burglars nor with your breakfast. But a Break-In for batteries is referred to as maximizing the performance or capacity of a battery. This should only be used with an empty battery The charger will charge for 16 hours 0. Only with an empty battery! My advice would be to not use the Break-In mode too often with Eneloops, especially not with Eneloop Pro.
New Eneloop batteries need a few cycles to get to max capacity This is also written in each battery product specifications. This function can be found on many more advanced battery chargers like the ones on the Advanced Charger page.
With a Refresh mode the charger will charge, discharge and then do a final charge to complete the cycle. This will normally boost the capacity back to its max capacity. You can use this method with all NiMH batteries, not just Eneloops. BTW you can repeat this Refresh mode if you're not satisfied with the results of the 1st Refresh cycle. Some advanced chargers will continue this cycle until the max capacity is reached. So the continuation of the process may depend on the charger.
An Analyze mode does basically the same thing as it will Analyze the capacity of a battery by charging, discharging, and charging it up again. At the end of this process, it will show the discharge capacity. When you want to know the capacity, or when you want to give them a little boost. It can be very useful to match batteries for multi-cell applications. This is a common problem when using batteries in a multi-battery application.
Say for example a flashlight that uses 4 AA batteries in series. It is therefore always advised to use sets of batteries always together, and the eneloop limited editions will greatly help to keep track of your sets.
This is rather technical. Battery cycle testing is done in sets of 50 cycles , with the following requirements:. Cycle 1: charge at 0. Start discharge directly after the charge has finished, without a break at 0.
Cycle charge at 0. Start discharge directly after the charge has finished, without a break to 1. Rest for hours. And discharge at 0. After the Discharge of every 50th cycle, it is allowed to stop the cycle test until a later time before continuing with the 51st cycle.
This is also allowed at the th, th, th, th, etc. When the duration of the 50th discharge cycle becomes less than 3 hours, the discharge test has to be redone according to the specification of the 50th cycle. When both of these cycles have a smaller discharge duration of 3 hours the test is considered complete. See the picture above. In the Advanced section at the bottom of this page, I explain what the C-rate means.
Well, you can compare 0. Eneloop batteries are one of the best rechargeable batteries in the world. You can buy them in the following countries:. Basic charge information for Eneloop batteries.
So how does it not work! Why not? But Now you extend the charge time to a total of 25 hours. Still not sure? They can be charged in your average Eneloop charger unless the charge current is too high.

Eneloop chargers. It is recommended to set a refresh at between mA for charging and discharge rate for regular white AA Eneloops Tips! You better use a flashlight with incandescent bulb because most modern LED flashlights have different built-in digital power circuitry which will all work differently and probably quit working before the batteries are completely discharged.

Re: How long does the Eneloop charger takes to charge? Reply Reply with quote Reply to thread Complain. Thanks, If you are not in a hurry, it is better to use slow charger. By the way, Alan, does this quick charger charge 2 or 4 batteries at a time? If you want faster than that, go with the Energizer 15 minute charger.
Jonas B has already laid it all out for you. Thanks again, guys! Especially Alan for e-mailing me the manual! The Maha C seems to have universal praise. Regular NiMh batteries pretty much suck of you don't use them within a week after charging. I thought the newest version was 33 not 34 for the La Crosse BC Is that true?

That sounded unbelievable, but Eneloop batteries held up to their end of the bargain. You can now get up to 2, charges from the same batteries. Eneloop rechargeable batteries come in different sizes. Although they all have the same basic chemistry, they have various capacities depending on the battery size. Eneloop AA batteries look like standard AA batteries.
They have a capacity of about mAh milliampere hours , which means the batteries give you 1, milliamperes of current for 1 hour. The nominal voltage of Eneloop AAs is 1.
Eneloop AAA batteries are They typically have a lower capacity than AA Eneloop batteries of about mAh. The batteries have a nominal voltage of 1. The Pro version of the Eneloop gives the highest capacity 2,mAh , making it suited for high output devices like LED lights, professional cameras, and gaming devices. Eneloop Pro cells give a steady output of voltage. Eneloop cells use Nickel-metal hydride chemistry with hydrogen stored in a metal alloy metal hydride as the positive electrode.
The chemical reaction during the charge and discharge reaction involve nickel oxide hydroxide electrode exchanging one proton. The reaction entails only a slight change in the battery size, making them highly stable mechanically, giving the battery its long cycle life.
The Eneloop battery uses an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide as the electrolyte. The electrolyte, therefore, retains its concentration at an almost constant rate throughout each charging and recharging cycle.
This means Eneloop batteries give you top of the range performance on the 2,th charge, just as they did when you first bought them. Statistics show that over 15 billion primary batteries are thrown away annually around the world.
