Topping up my TV remote Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries with my home made trickle charger using a Big Clive circuit design from many years ago.

With all the technology we have, you still need to power down a device in order to have it's {lipo} batteries charged at relatively controllable temperatures.

That's the reason why removable batteries are a logical thing. That is also the reason why I do not understand from the perspective of fire safety, that volatile power units are permanently sealed in devices.

I have a few obsolete Android devices that are still perfectly usable, for lighter tasks. I refuse to pry them open in order to replace the volatile batteries which are charging at temperatures where the devices need to be shut down. A procedure I cannot do, because the power buttons and the logic integrated circuits behind them are broken. I need to use PPE in order to charge those things safely!

Luckily The European Union got fed up with this sealed battery phenomena and thanks to the Europeans we shall have normal battery separation again in our devices

Stop Using AA Lithium Batteries in Portable Strobes and Speedlights

Even in the cases where lithium isn't explicitly warned against, they’re not a good choice for a working photographer anyway.

Einzelschachtüberwachung schön und gut, aber die Anzeige macht mich kirre 😵‍💫

Voltcraft CM 2016: Endlich eine Linux-GUI für das Ladegerät

Die erste freie Linux-GUI für das Voltcraft Charge Manager CM 2016 Ladegerät. GTK4, Python, Echtzeit-Überwachung, Diagramme, Export und Protokoll-Reverse-Engineering.

Обожаю старые батарейки. Особенно когда они неюзанные, а предыдущий владелец невдупляэ.
За время чудовищного пролежня, внутреннее сопротивление пизда какое.
Но в случае с cd-* — достаточно её погонять и есть шанс, что 50-60% ёмкости еще там.
Но зарядка-то родная видит сопротивление и рвёт процесс в полной уверенности, что заряд полный.
И как нас это остановит? А никак. Туда-сюда-обратно (с)
Всё, заряд_очка пошел. #Ni-Mh #некрота #ni-cd #HW

Another tedious day at work, though I did manage to get a few things done. One of our phones beeped a couple of times this morning then stopped...

Just received our first prototype of a Nickel-metal Hydride battery charger with a USB plug. This board is made to charge from 1 to 6 cells in series and supports a thermister for sensing overheating batteries.

This circuit design is planned to be a part of a pen-like stylus with a camera and haptic feedback for blind people to feel visual art.

Today on Mythconfirms: How many Ni-MH batteries can i charge with my 45000mAh powerbank, and how long can it keep you charged for a doomsday scenario

Zolder opruimen; jaargangen KIJK doorlezen (deel 10/veel):

Juni 1987 - Met aluminium-batterijen zou de elektrische auto weer een kans krijgen. Bereik 115km is voldoende. Of een natrium/zwavel accu.

Pas in 1996 kwam de GM EV1 met lood- en NiMH-accu en in 1997 Toyota RAV4 EV met NiMH-accu.
