Constantly.So how does a "smart" charger know when to stop? Maybe measure the rate of battery voltage increase during brief pauses in charging?
I built mine many moons ago, it has to see a battery connected to output and charge current is dependent on battery state/level.So how does a "smart" charger know when to stop? Maybe measure the rate of battery voltage increase during brief pauses in charging?
Many will charge at a constant current (current limit) until a certain voltage is reached (typically about 14.4V for a 12V lead-acid battery) and then drop to a constant voltage of typically 13.6V to top off and maintain the charge.So how does a "smart" charger know when to stop?
