A method of recharging an electric battery, comprising alternating phases of recharge at a constant current and phases of recharge at constant voltage.
A system, comprising:
- an electric battery;
- and
- a recharge circuit coupled to the electric battery and configured to alternately apply constant currents and constant voltages to the electric battery.
A battery charger configured to be coupled to a battery and configured to alternately operate in a constant current phase and a constant voltage phase, the battery charger configured to supply a constant current to the battery during each constant current phase and to supply a constant voltage across the battery during each constant voltage phase.
