Constant Current – Constant Voltage Charging

CV-CC charging graph

Constant Current – Constant Voltage Charging (CC-CV) is where a battery cell is charged at a constant current until it reaches the maximum charging voltage at which point the voltage is fixed and the current reduced. The following graph shows this relationship versus charge time. The constant current charging up to 4.2V is at 0.5C … Read more

Electric Vehicle On Board Charger

Current from the Grid (AC) goes through EVSE (Charging Station Either Level 1 or 2) through a connector to the On Board Charger. The Onboard Charger rectifies or converts the current into DC and sends it via the Battery Management System (BMS) to the Battery Pack
