Overcharge/Overdischarge/Overcurrent Safety Circuits The Functions of the Safety Circuits (typical functions)

The voltages listed below are typical values and are not guaranteed. The charge voltage varies according to model number.

1. The Overcharge Safety Function The charge stops when the voltage per cell rises above 4.30 ± 0.05 V. The charge restarts when the voltage per cell falls below 4.10 ± 0.05 V.

2. The Overdischarge Safety Function The discharge stops when the voltage per cell falls below 2.3 ± 0.1 V. The discharge restarts when the voltage per cell rises above 3.0 ± 0.1 V. Contact Panasonic for infomation regarding NNP series.

3. The Overcurrent Safety Function The discharge is stopped when the output terminals are shorted. The discharge restarts when the short is removed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the upper voltage limit before overcharging occurs?

The charge must stop if the cell voltage rises above 4.30 V (per cell).

How do I restart charging after an overdischarge event?

Discharge restarts when the cell voltage rises above 3.0 ± 0.1 V (per cell).

What are the recommended charge current standards for PSS and Cobalt acid series cylindrical batteries?

The recommended charge current is 0.7 lt.

What safety measures must be included in the charging circuit design?

Include a total charge timer, a charge completion timer, and an overvoltage guard in the power supply.
