AVR146
Lithium-Ion battery charge follows three stages:
1. Prequalification current: Charging of a Li-Ion battery starts with a test of battery
2. Constant current. The charge continues with applying constant current to the
3. Constant voltage. After battery threshold voltage has been reached the charger will
The below figure illustrates voltage and current of a lithium-ion battery during
charging.

In the figure above, “Overcharge” is the level at which cell protection circuitry cuts in
and opens a solid-state switch and discontinues the charge current path. After this,
battery voltage typically needs to drop several hundred millivolts before the current
path is restored. “Overdischarge” is the level at which the current path is cut in order
to prevent the battery from over-discharging.

charge starts with a fixed low current.

manufacturer. This stage is complete when battery voltage has reached the
threshold given by the manufacturer.
