QuickSaver® Charge Controller for Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries
General Description
The ICS1702 is a CMOS device designed for the intelligent charge control of either nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. The controller uses a pulsed-current charging technique together with voltage slope and/or temperature slope termination. The ICS1702 employs a four stage charge sequence that provides a complete recharge with-out overcharging. The controller has nine user-selectable charge rates and six userselectable auxiliary modes available for customized charging systems. The ICS1702 monitors for the presence of a battery and begins charging when a battery is installed. Voltage and temperature are measured to ensure a battery is within fast charge conditions before charge is initiated.
Features
