ABSTRACT:
A hysteresis battery charging method repeats peak and trough voltage and current waveforms taking the battery to a temporary over-voltage state during peak charging. This method achieves rapid recharge while avoiding battery performance degradation. Constant current charging or quasi-constant current charging is performed during peak charging. During troughs, charging is either suspended or reduced from that during peak charging. After battery capacity has reached a set value by hysteresis charging, an optimum voltage is maintained by constant voltage charging.
