QuickSaver® Charge Controller for Nickel-Cadmium and Nickel-Metal Hydride Batteries
General Description
The ICS1722 is a CMOS device designed for the intelligent charge control of either nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. The controller uses a pulsed-current charging technique together with voltage slope termination. The ICS1722 employs a four stage charge sequence that provides a plete recharge without overcharging. The controller has nine userselectable charge rates and six user-selectable auxiliary modes available for customized charging systems. The ICS1722 monitors for the presence of a battery and begins charging when a battery is installed....
