| Timed charge: | Charge is terminated after battery is charged for a predetermined length of time.
|
| Voltage drop: | Charge is terminated when the voltage in the battery begins to decrease by a specified amount.
|
| Voltage plateau: | Charge is terminated when the voltage peaks and the slope of the charge curve is zero.
|
| Temperature cutoff: | Charge is terminated when the battery reaches a temperature that indicates the beginning of overcharge.
|
| Delta temperature cutoff: | Charge is terminated when the temperature rise reaches predetermined value.
|
Rate of temperature increase
(dT/dt): | Charge is terminated when the rate of temperature increase reaches a predetermined rate. |
