In some embodiments, rechargeable battery 12 comprises lithium ionic cell unit, and described battery has graphite anode material or lithium titanate anode material and LiFePO4 cathode material, and they are suitable for making the rechargeable battery based on this type of material to recharge fast.Charger 10 also can be configured to the dissimilar battery that charges, and comprises for example cylindrical battery, prismatic battery, button cell or the like.
Battery 12 is received within the charging compartments of charger 10, make charging terminal 14a and 14b electric coupling and be mechanical coupling to the terminal 18a and the 18b of battery 12 respectively, and sense terminal 16a and 16b electric coupling and be mechanical coupling to the sense terminal 20a and 20 of battery 12 respectively.In some embodiments, terminal 18a, 18b, 20a and 20 are bearing pin, and described bearing pin is suitable for to cooperate configuration to be connected with 16b with corresponding terminal 14a, 14b, 16a in the charging compartments that is positioned at charger 10.Charger 10 determines to be applied to the suitable charging currents on the battery 12, and this charging current is applied on the battery 12 via the terminal 18 and 18 of battery 12 by terminal 14a and 14b.Be electrically coupled to the voltage sensor measurement terminal 20 of terminal 16a and 16b and the voltage at 20b place (described voltage is corresponding to the terminal 18a of battery 12 and the voltage at 18b place).Based on the voltage of measuring, charging voltage and/or electric current that 10 pairs of chargers are applied on the battery 12 carry out necessary adjusting, so that charger 10 can be finished the charging operations of battery 12 according to the specific charging feature (for example, obtaining 80% to 90% charging capacity in less than 15 minutes time) of battery 12.In some embodiments, charger 10 also can comprise one or more current sensors, and described transducer is connected on the charging terminal 14a and 14b of charger 10.Though what Fig. 1 showed is monocell 12, charger 10 can be suitable for admitting and charge additional rechargeable batteries.In addition, charger 10 also can be configured to admit and the different battery types that charges, and comprises cylindrical battery, prismatic battery, coin battery or button cell etc.
Charger 10 is configured to having the battery charge of different capabilities.Charger can determine to be connected to the capacity of the rechargeable battery 12 on the charger 10.Based on determined battery capacity, charger 10 determines to be applied to the levels of current on the rechargeable battery 12, makes the pre-determined charge (for example, 90% capacity) of battery 12 for example reaching in about 5 minutes.In order to obtain this charging performance, need (wherein 1C be the charge rate corresponding to the charging current that can cause specific rechargeable battery to charge finishing in 1 hour corresponding to the about charging current of 10C to 15C, and the charge rate of 12C is corresponding to the levels of current that can in 5 minutes (that is, a hour 1/12) the particular battery charging be finished).
Because this charger is configured to having the battery charge of different capabilities, and the capacity of battery 12 can be a kind of in the multiple possible capacity, therefore needs apply according to the capacity of battery 12 charging current of varying level.Usually, the capacity of battery is in the scope of 50mAh to 3Ah, and wherein " Ah " is battery capacity unit's ampere-hour.Also applicable to other capacity.Therefore, for example, for the charge rate (that is, in about five minutes) of 12C with the battery charge of 500mAh capacity to greater than 90% of full capacity, need about 6A charging current (that is, 6A*1/12 hour=500mAh).On the other hand, for battery, need the charging current of about 8.5A with the charge rate of 12C charging 700mAh.
Charger 10 also is configured to control charging process, comprise and regulate voltage and/or the electric current that is applied on the battery 12, with guarantee (a) battery 12 is charged to its predetermined charge level, (b) battery in preset time in the section voltage be no more than pre-determined upper voltage limit, with and/or (c) voltage advance the speed (promptly, carrying out along with charging operations, the speed that the voltage at the charging terminal place of battery 12 increases) meet appointment charging feature (for example, it increases with special speed) in the one 1 minute of charging operations.
