Lithium ion
cells have an operating voltage range from 2.8v absolute minimum to
4.2V absolute maximum. Charging the cells beyond 4.2V will cause
them to heat up and ultimately explode and ignite. Discharging a
cell below 2.8v will damage the cell rendering it useless. A
protection circuit is essential to keep the cells in balance and
ensure proper charging and discharging.
These
circuits are suitable for hobbyists wanting to use Lithium polymer
and Lithium ion cells. We do not accept liability/responsibility for
the safety of operation of these circuits and suggest that when
charging check the voltage balance and heating of any cells
frequently during the charging period. |

Lithium Ion
Chargers |
|
A lithium ion
cell operates in the voltage range min 2.8V to 4.2V Max per cell.
This means you need a 4.2V charger to charge a single cell properly
to full voltage. Two cells in series will need an 8.4V charger, 3
cells will need a 12.6V charger and 4 cells ,16.8V.
Applying a
voltage significant higher than the required voltage will activate
the protection circuit prematurely and it will shut down the charge
before the cell reaches full charge.
