By LSDPower, on March 1st, 2011 Battery charging is an uncomplicated task, but at times it’s not. NiCad and NiMH batteries are deemed as the hardest batteries to charge. However, the overcharging of li-ion and lead acid batteries is controllable. Basically, the concept of charging in based on the voltage and by simply setting a maximum charge voltage batteries can be saved. If you consult a connoisseur or an expert, you will receive knowledge regarding battery charging. According to the trends, there are few distinct ways of charging a battery.
 Hitech Battery Charger The first is overnight charging. Your battery receives sufficient power during the night and promises to accompany you throughout the day. Charging a battery at C/10 or below will turn out to be the most pocket friendly way of battery charging. So at 10mA, your 100 mAH battery will take approximately 15 hours to get recharged. Here, there is no requirement of an end-of-charge sensor and you will enjoy full charge. The newest batteries penetrating the market retain modern cells having oxygen recycling catalyst that assures 100% protection from overcharging.

By LSDPower, on December 7th, 2010 Experts, critics, specialists and even users have said a lot regarding the NiCd batteries that power a plane, however, the fact is, few advices are conflicting. Truthfully, there is a lot associated with these batteries and one has to be very careful while taking care of them.
If we attribute towards “memory effect” then it is the most perpetuated myth in NiCd history that occurs when only one part of the battery is repeatedly coming into use before the recharging process. Earlier, memory effect was common; however, it only occurs when charge and discharge cycles are of the same length.
 Type Of Battery Usually, the problems suffered by the cells are because of “voltage depression.” It is not caused due to charging a battery before the full discharge but by overcharging. The sole reason why people think that only a fully discharged battery should be charged, because then only you can notice the precise time it takes to get fully charged. The chargers generally used by the battery owners’ charges a battery at a constant speed and it’s your duty to remove the charger at the appropriate time so that it won’t encounter any problem because of the overcharging.
Remember, a recharge after a partial recharge demands less time so it’s better you charge the battery within a specific interval of time. We think that overcharging only reduces the life of the battery; however, it also diminishes the average current rate that a battery actually necessitates. Voltage depression is easy to cure but you ought to be a bit careful. By merely following the pattern mentioned below, you battery will never stumble upon voltage depression:-
Complete Discharge –> Complete Charge = Voltage returns to normal levels

By LSDPower, on November 7th, 2010 In November 2005, battery users came across this term “Low Self Discharge Battery” when Sanyo released its latest invention with a bang. The invention’s name was LSD NiMH which was the first Low self discharge nickel-metal hydride battery crossed into the market. Better known as Eneloop, these low self discharge batteries subsequently impressed the other players in market as well and consequently the competition evolved. Other manufacturers also released their low self discharge products to give neck to neck fight to Sanyo’s eneloop. However, customers overall appreciated the concept of LSD batteries, intended to reduce the self-discharge and lengthens shelf life. Apart from Sanyo, brands that emerged with their low self discharge products are Fujicell, Varta, AccuPower, Rayovac, Yuasa, Panasonic, Gold Peak, Vapex, Uniross, Sony, Ansmann, NexCell, Duracell and Kodak.
Usually, the standard NiMH batteries loses half of their energy if stored at 20 °C but surprisingly, the low self discharge batteries retain 75% or 80% of their energy at the same temperature. Commonly, low self discharge cells are underlined as “pre-charged” or “ready to use” rechargeable. Connoisseurs and experts believe that these low self discharge batteries are apt for photography and high energy requirement applications for which the entire credit goes to their low self-discharge. That is why these products are purposely being used with remote controls, electrical clocks and other products of the similar nature.

By LSDPower, on July 6th, 2010 The most common word used by people daily is recharging. Almost all important electronic appliances or gadgets people use are of rechargeable type. This makes you to carry your adapter, charger, etc. anywhere you go. Sanyo’s Eneloop NiMH batteries already proved its performance and now two AA Eneloop NiMH batteries inside an aluminum body is creating major impact on charging mobile phones, ipads, iphones, psp, etc.
 USB Stick Booster from Sanyo Sanyo Eneloop USB booster stick in now the most versatile mobile charger, having number of advantages. The major advantage is that, it can be plugged in any USB port either for charging or to provide battery back for that USB enabled device. USB ports are available everywhere like in your car radio set, laptop, desktop, USB enabled adapters, which makes it easy to charge Sanyo USB booster stick. Once the booster stick is recharged, it can be used to power any other electronic device requiring AA battery charge specification.
Design specifications of Sanyo USB booster stick:
The booster stick comes in a cylindrical aluminum casing of less than 2 cm diameter. It weighs around 76 grams with batteries loaded in it. The two AA batteries inside the stick can be recharged for 1500 times. It is comparatively better than dry cells in delivering high current. A switch is present at the side, which enables the device to supply high current when using with devices like iPhones, small portable gaming devices like psp and iPads.
