The N ICKLE M INDER Model 8045 is a battery charger
with two key characteristics. First, the N ICKLE M INDER
is designed to support Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal
Hydride batteries. Full charge is determined by the most so-
phisticated microchip designed expressly for that purpose.
Full charge may be established based on zero slope voltage
detect, or rate of temperature increase. Secondly, the
N ICKLE M INDER is a programmed charger, with custom cell
count and capacity tailored for the individual battery pack at
the time of purchase at no extra charge.
CHARGE ALGORITHYM:
1. SOFT START CHARGE : the current increases
gradually over the first two minutes from approxi-
mately one fifth of the bulk charge current up to the
user selected bulk charge rate.
2. BULK CHARGE : current is supplied to the bat-
tery at the rate programmed into the charger for the
unique battery pack.
3. TOPPING CHARGE: current is supplied for two
hours at a C/10 rate to complete the charge cycle.
4. MAINTENANCE CHARGE : current is supplied at
a C/40 rate until the battery is disconnected from the
charger.
The following graph illustrates the ideal charge curve of a
NiCad battery. The 8045 charger uses the four phase charg-
ing cycle outlined above. The charge cycle is broken down
into approximately one second intervals. Within an interval,
the charger will first supply the current it is programmed for
as a bulk charge current. At the end of approximately one
second, the current is shut off for 8 milliseconds. Then the
current is reversed, discharging the battery at two and a half
times the bulk charge rate for 5 milliseconds. The charger is
quiet for 16 milliseconds, during which time a voltage mea-
surement is made, and the results stored. The Model 8045
calculates the first derivative of the curve produced by these
N ICKLE M INDER 8045
voltage measurements. When the first derivative goes to zero,
the charger terminates the bulk charge phase and moves to
the “Topping” phase. The graph, Charge Tertmination Cri-
teria , shows the Model 8045 voltage curve as it brings a
battery from full discharge to full charge. Because the Model
8045 is programmable over such a wide range of cell count
and capacity, the data is given in “Volts per Cell”.
Following the Soft Start phase, the Model 8045 supplies to
the battery a constant current of C/4 to 4C amperes, depend-
ing on the bulk charge programming. As the battery reaches
its capacity, the Model 8045 can terminate charging based on
either voltage slope parameters or temperature slope param-
eters. Absent such an indication, an override timer will
terminate charge.
The management of the current flowing to the battery during
this process is critical if the process of energy storage is to
be optimized. Nickel cells, Cadmium or Metal Hydride are
charged at a constant current until the charge storage pro-
cess is complete. The sophisticated operation of detecting
this completion requires a computer. By selecting the proper
program for the battery type being charged, the Model 8045
