I understand that while charging Lithium Ion or Lithium Polymer batteries with a Bench Power Supply, you want to set the max voltage to the appropriate level (i.e. 4.2V for 1S, 8.4V for 2S, etc), and you want to set the charge current to the appropriate level.
The purpose of this tutorial is to learn how to use your lab power supply to charge your Lithium Ion battery when you don’t have a special charger circuit to do so. He used NCR18650B in his tutorial, a 3.6V 3400mAh Lithium Ion battery from Panasonic.
The most appropriate method for charging batteries among them is with a power supply that has constant current voltage drooping type characteristics (Far Left) where a constant current range is used for charging batteries with a constant current. The other two characteristics should not be used to charge batteries.
Because of difficulties in detecting full charge with nickel-based batteries, I recommend charging only lead and lithium-based batteries manually. Before connecting the battery, calculate the charge voltage according to the number of cells in series, and then set the desired voltage and current limit.
You can also use the power supply to equalize a lead acid battery by setting the charge voltage 10 percent higher than recommended. The time in overcharge is critical and must be carefully observed. (See BU-404: What is Equalizing Charge) A power supply can also reverse sulfation.
“Constant current charging is a way to charge common batteries” … except in the case of lead-acid batteries, which are (and have been, for about a hundred years) [among] the most common of all rechargeable batteries; lead-acid batteries require constant- voltage charging.
