Technical Documents

The UC2906 series of battery charger controllers contains all of the necessary circuitry to optimally control the charge and hold cycle for sealed lead-acid batteries. These integrated circuits monitor and control both the output voltage and current of the charger through three separate charge states; a high current bulk-charge state, a constant-current mode, and a constant-voltage mode

Linear Technology/LT3652: The LT3652 from Linear Technology (now part of Analog Devices) is a versatile battery charger IC that supports various battery chemistries, including lead-acid batteries. It offers features such as constant-current/constant-voltage charging algorithms, thermal regulation, and input voltage regulation.  Maxim Integrated MAX713/MAX714: The MAX713 and MAX714 from Maxim Integrated are battery charger ICs suitable for lead-acid battery charging applications. They provide a constant-current/constant-voltage charging algorithm, thermal regulation, and voltage regulation features.

Can you provide more information on the charging algorithms of the suggested battery charger ICs?

Linear Technology/LT3652: The LT3652 charger IC utilizes a multi-chemistry charging algorithm. It starts with a constant-current (CC) mode where it supplies a regulated current to the battery until a specified voltage limit is reached. Once the voltage limit is reached, it transitions to a constant-voltage (CV) mode, where it maintains a steady voltage while gradually reducing the charging current. The LT3652 also includes a programmable charge termination feature that allows the charging process to end based on specific criteria such as current, voltage, or time.  Maxim Integrated MAX713/MAX714: The MAX713 and MAX714 charger ICs employ a voltage-regulated three-stage charging algorithm. They begin with a pre-conditioning stage, delivering a constant current to the battery until a target voltage is reached. Next, they transition to the constant-voltage (CV) stage, where the charger maintains a fixed voltage while gradually reducing the charging current. Finally, they enter a maintenance/trickle charge stage, providing a lower current to compensate for self-discharge and keep the battery fully charged.
