Abstract

This thesis describes the control system as well as the
charge and discharge circuitry developed to efficiently
charge nickel-cadmium batteries. Due to incorrect usage and
charging of these batteries their life-spans and output
capacities are drastically decreased. Efficiency is improved
by cycling the batteries which extends their life-span and
performance. "Cycling" refers to a discharge and charge
process.
