3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in GB 4706.1-2005 and the following apply.
Note: The terms "voltage" and "current" used in this document refer to the root-mean-square values (r.m.s) unless otherwise specified.
3.1
trickle charge
charge at a continuous low current [not greater than 0.03 ℃] that keeps the secondary cell or battery in an approximately fully charged state
3.2
rated input voltage
input voltage of the charger as specified by the manufacturer
3.3
rated input current
input current of the charger as specified by the manufacturer
Note: Generally, the input current before the end of the high efficient charging range of the charger is specified as the rated input current.
3.4
rated output voltage
DC output voltage of the charger as specified by the manufacturer
3.5
max output voltages
the highest output voltages of the charger as specified by the manufacturer
3.6
rated output current
DC output current of the charger as specified by the manufacturer
Note: Generally, the output current before the end of the high efficient charging range of the charger is specified as the rated output current.
3.7
supply cord
cord fixed to the charger for supplying alternating current to the charger
3.8
output cord
cord fixed to the charger for outputting alternating current to the charger
3.9
thermal runaway
a critical state during charging, in which the heat generated by the battery exceeds its heat dissipation capacity, resulting in a continuous increase in temperature, and then the damage of the battery
Note: In lithium ion batteries, thermal runaway may cause lithium melting.
3.10
high efficient charging range
range in which the battery is charged below the specified charging voltage of the cell, usually at a constant DC current
Note: In an environment of 25℃, the charging voltage of lead-acid cell is below 2.40 V, that of ternary lithium-ion cell and lithium manganate cell is below 4.10 V, and that of lithium iron phosphate cell is below 3.34 V.
