Figure 3 - IU Recharge

The document describes three types of battery recharging processes: 1) IU recharging follows two phases - constant current then constant voltage - until the current drops below a threshold, then enters a floating phase. 2) I1I2U recharging provides a 125% boost charge for Ni-Cd batteries in two current-then-voltage phases followed by a floating phase. 3) U1U2I recharging also boosts Ni-Cd batteries but the phases are voltage-then-current-then-floating with timer-controlled voltage boost periods.

2 Recharge IU according to the DIN 41773 standard


The recharge undergoes to phases:
Phase 1: the current is constant and the voltage increases.
Phase 2: the current decreases and the voltage is constant.
When the recharging current goes below a certain value the battery is assumed fully
recharged and the cycle ends. Consequently the output voltage is set at the floating
level. During the floating the battery voltage is controlled as minimum value in order to
avoid undesirable discharges, and towards as maximum value in order to avoid
excessive heating of the electrolyte. The “thermal compensation” of the floating voltage
in function of the battery temperature can be added as an option.

Figure 3 – IU recharge
3.1.3 I1 I2 U recharge
This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd batteries. During the recharge a boost charge
of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the losses in discharge and recharge of the
battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows:

If the mains fails for a time which is longer than the programmable threshold, when
the mains returns the output voltage of charger is taken to a higher level than the
floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated. If the recharging current
exceeds the programmed crossing threshold, normally a certain percent of C10, the
voltage is maintained and a first phase of boost charge starts, in which the current is
constant and the voltage is increasing.
After a certain time the current starts to decrease and the voltage remains constant
at the level of boost charge. This is the second phase of the boost charge. Finally, when
the current goes below the programmed level for the return in floating, the output
voltage of Charger is taken back to floating. If this does not happen within the max.
programmed time, the safety timer intervenes and the voltage is forced to floating. This
event generates an alarm.

3.1.4 U1 U2 I recharge
This recharge is used mainly for Ni-Cd batteries. During the recharge a boost charge
of approx. 125% is provided, to compensate the losses in discharge and recharge of the
battery (estimated in approx. 25%). The recharge works as follows:

If the mains fails for a time which is longer than the programmable threshold, when
the mains returns the output voltage of Charger is taken to a higher level than the
floating, called boost charge and a safety timer is activated.
If the recharging voltage doesn’t exceed the programmed crossing threshold,
normally a certain percent of the floating, the voltage is maintained and a first phase of
boost charge starts, in which the current is constant and the voltage is increasing.
After a certain time the recharging voltage reaches the programmed level for the
second phase of boost charge; a timer is started and the battery is kept under boost
charge conditions for the time programmed. After this time has elapsed the output
voltage of Charger is brought back to the floating value. If this does not happen within
the maximum programmed time, the safety timer intervenes and the voltage is forced to
floating. This event generates an alarm.

Figure 5 – U1 U2 I recharge
During the boost charge it is possible to enable the voltage-drop compensation
function. Setting the desired compensation constant at full load (in percent of the
nominal voltage, with 0,1% steps, from 0% to 5%) Charger will adapt the output
voltage on the basis of the current supplied.
