GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DS2711 and DS2712 are ideal for in-system or stand-alone charging of 1 or 2 AA or AAA NiMH “loose” cells. Temperature, voltage, and charge time are monitored to provide proper fast-charging control algorithms for nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. Battery tests are included to detect defective or inappropriate cells such as alkaline primary batteries. The DS2711/DS2712 support series and parallel topologies, with independent monitoring and control of each cell. Charging of NiCd chemistry cells is also supported.
