Our Constant current chargers used in switch tripping applications encompass aspects of both the constant current and constant voltage regime. They function by delivering a fixed constant current into the battery until it reaches the set point (fully charged voltage) when they are switched to a low trickle charge.

The animation begins with the charger delivering a current limited maximum of 10A into a 24V nicad battery. The current will stay at full current until the battery reaches 1.41 volts per cell at which point the unit switches to trickle.
