Meeting IEC 60950 (ITE), UL 1310 (Class 2), IEC 60601-1 (Medical) and international EMC standards, GlobTek’s 5-bay Li-Ion battery chargers and cradles charge batteries in three phases; conditioning, constant current and constant voltage. Charge is terminated based on minimum current level. A programmable charge timer provides a safety backup for charge termination. The design also incorporates an MCU for battery identification, charge status display and battery temperature monitoring using HDQ communication protocol from BQ27000 battery fuel gauge IC, embedded inside the battery pack. Each bay can provide bulk charge current up to 750mA at 4.2V maximum voltage for company’s off-the-shelf 2GL-523450-G or customer designed battery packs. Modified, custom and higher power designs adaptable to customer battery packs or alternate specs are also available.
