Battery Charger – A cover story

A Battery Charger can be defined as a device used to energize any secondary cell or a rechargeable battery cell by forcing a stream of electric current to pass through the sell. This charge current completely depends on the technology used and that of the battery’s capacity to get charged. The current utilized to recharge a cell-phone battery is quite different from the one used to charge a car battery of twelve volt. 

Battery Charger is the name of a group that is segregated into multiple other subgroups. 

Simple chargers perform by delivering a continuous source of DC power to the cell that is getting charged. The job of a simple charger is not to change the battery charge or its output according to the time of charging. The simple charger name stands for the fact that they are low-priced chargers. However such a Battery Charger although cheap will be a complete exchange in quality. 

Trickle chargers are those that are derived from the simple charger variants but with a slower output while charging, almost at a rate equivalent to self-discharging. These are the slowest chargers available. The good thing of leaving a battery on a trickle charger is that the battery is always “topped-up”  however with no chance of getting overcharged. 

A Battery Charger can also be available in time based or Timer charger variant. These type of battery chargers, use the method where a timer is set for the charging and once the time is up the output terminates.
