An intelligent battery charger is another name for a
microprocessor-controlled charger. These chargers are designed to work
only with brainpower batteries from the same manufacturer. This is
because the mind cells contain special microchips that are programmed to
communicate with an intellect cell charger of the same brand.
Intelligent
batteries are typically understood to be cells that are capable of
complex functioning. The microchips in them help inform the user of its
current state of charge (SoC) and state of health (SoH). They are
popularly used in medical equipment, computer devices, video and digital
cameras and military tools. As SoC and SoH are important to their
functionality, noopsyche cells are natural matches for these devices.
It's important to note that cells that simply inform a charger to
recharge the battery to a certain level are not typically considered to
be smart cells.
An intellectual battery charger is built to make
charging precise and because of this, it is unlikely to suffer from
overcharging, and trickle charges can be successfully maintained.
Intelligent Batteries are equipped with microchips that work with a
specific and corresponding charging unit. To make sure that smart cells
are not damaged, consumers should always charge their cells with the
same manufacturer's smart cell charger. Charging the battery with a
foreign smart cell charger may result in the nullification of any free
or purchased warranties that the consumer has on the battery.
Several
types of intelligent cells may exist and some consumers may have to
research their cells before deciding on a specific charger to purchase.
Maintenance-free, Wet Cell (flooded), Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM), Gel Cell
and Valve Regulated Lead Acid (VRLA) are some of the different types of
intelligent cells that a consumer may have purchased. Documentation to
these cells should be studied before investing in a charger. Business
owners who sell battery chargers may often advise customers that one
type of smart cell charger can work well with many different types of
smart cells. However, mixing and matching intelligent cells and chargers
may result in damage.
For consumers who are interested in
charging cells and minimizing expenses, other options exist besides
purchasing chargers. Those who are electronically-inclined may also
consider building a smart cell charger on their own. Some knowledge of
circuitry may be required to achieve this and building should not be
attempted by the novice electrician or consumer. Charging cells this way
may also result in voiding warranties or damaging the cell.
