Smart chargers typically have multiple functions, including direct charging and recharge, which play different roles during the charging process.
Direct charging function:
The direct charging function refers to the charger transferring electrical energy directly to the battery or charging device, with the main purpose of charging. During the direct charging process, the charger adjusts the current and voltage to the appropriate level to ensure safe and efficient charging of the device.
The direct charging function is usually used to fully charge or maintain the battery or device for later use. This feature is suitable for ordinary charging scenarios, such as mobile phones, laptops, electric vehicles, etc.
Recharge function:
The recharge function refers to the charger's ability to monitor the battery status and automatically adjust the charging process after the battery or device is fully charged, in order to prevent overcharging, float charging, or other situations that may affect battery health.
When the battery is fully charged, the recharge function can switch the charger to a maintenance mode to avoid overcharging, extend battery life, and ensure battery safety performance. This usually includes measures such as reducing current output and monitoring battery temperature.
In practical applications, smart chargers often combine these two functions to ensure effective protection and management of the battery or charging device during the charging process. The direct charging function ensures fast and efficient transfer of power to the device, while the recharge function ensures intelligent management of the battery after the device is fully charged, thereby improving battery life and safety.
