Abstract
A process for charging one or more lithium containig electrochemical cells which exhibit a plurality of characteristics with respect to time while either being charged with or while discharging energy, wherein the charging process includes an unpetrify phase, a fast phase, a top up phase, a done phase, a good phase, and a low phase.
Claims11
A process for charging one or more electrochemical cells wherein one or several of the component parts of said cells are fabricated from lithium or any ion, nuclide, variation, combination, compound or derivative thereof, said cells exhibiting a plurality of characteristics with respect to time while either being charged with or while discharging energy, such process comprising:
- (a) an unpetrify charging phase;
- (b) a fast charging phase;
- (c) a top up charging phase;
- (d) a done charging phase;
- (e) a good charging phase;
- and
- (f) a low charging phase.
