battery charging regulator
1Battery pack — A battery pack is a set of any number of (preferably) identical batteries or individual battery cells. They may be configured in a series, parallel or a mixture of both to deliver the desired voltage, capacity, or power density. The term battery… …
2Battery balancer — A battery balancer is a device in a battery pack which can actively shuttle energy into a weak cell from other more healthy cells in the pack, they may also include the function of a battery regulator to prevent overcharging. Balancers are often… …
3shunt regulator — Type of a battery charge regulator where the charging current is controlled by a switch or transistor connected in parallel with the PV panel. Overcharging of the battery is prevented by shorting the PV output. Shunt regulators are common in PV …
4series regulator — Type of battery charge regulator where the charging current is controlled by a switch, transistor, or FET connected in series with the PV module or array. Solar Electric Glossary …
5Automotive battery — 12 V, 40 Ah Lead acid car battery An automotive battery is a type of rechargeable battery that supplies electric energy to an automobile.[1] Usually this refers to an SLI battery (starting, lighting, ignition) to power the starter motor …
6Trickle charging — Trickle charging, also called float charging, means charging a battery at a similar rate as it is self discharging, thus maintaining a full capacity battery. Most rechargeable batteries, particularly nickel cadmium batteries or nickel metal… …
7Nickel-cadmium battery vented cell type — Vented cell (wet cell, flooded cell) is a type of nickel cadmium battery that is used when large capacities and discharge rates are required. The term vented refers to a difference to common NiCd batteries which are sealed .They are used in… …
8Nickel–cadmium battery (vented cell type) — Vented cell (wet cell, flooded cell) is a type of nickel–cadmium battery that is used when large capacities and high discharge rates are required. The term vented refers to a difference to common NiCd batteries which are sealed. They are used in… …
9voltage regulator — A device which maintains the correct voltage level in a vehicle s electrical system by preventing the circuit voltage from exceeding a predetermined safe value. When the battery needs charging the regulator cuts resistance out of the generator… …
10Voltage regulator — A popular three pin 12 V DC voltage regulator IC. A voltage regulator is an electrical regulator designed to automatically maintain a constant voltage level. A voltage regulator may be a simple feed forward design or may include negative feedback …
