The constant current charging method charges the battery with a steady current. Like the constant voltage method, when the battery is fully charged, the charger must switch to float charging mode to prevent damage from overcharging. Compared to constant voltage charging, this method can fully charge the battery quickly.
So as charging continues at a constant voltage, the charging current decreases due to the decreasing potential difference between the charger-output voltage and the battery terminal voltage as the battery charges. Expressed differently, the charging current is highest at the beginning of the charge cycle and lowest at the end of the charge cycle.
By Irena Zhuravchak and Volodymyr Ilchuk | Tuesday, June 27, 2023 Charging a battery using the constant-current/constant-voltage (CC/CV) method involves using the constant current in the initial state of charging and then switching to constant voltage in the later stages of charging, when the battery reaches the set charge level.
The charging current decreases as the internal battery voltage increases. ●When the charge current reaches the set termination value, charging is continued for a fixed interval then stopped. Example of ROHM’s Charging IC Profile (with Charging Cord Plugged In)
Importantly, the DC power source ensures that it does not exceed the maximum battery voltage limit during this adjustment. The relationship between the charging voltage and the battery charging current limit can be expressed by the formula: Charging voltage = OCV + (R I x Battery charging current limit) Here, R I is considered as 0.2 Ohm.
Like the constant voltage method, when the battery is fully charged, the charger must switch to float charging mode to prevent damage from overcharging. Compared to constant voltage charging, this method can fully charge the battery quickly. However, it must monitor the battery’s charging level closely.

Then the constant-current phase stops and the constant-voltage phase starts. In this case, the ACMP1H controls the constant voltage of 4.2 V and the CCMP1 just checks and keeps the current decreasing and lower than the I BF of 90 mA until the battery is fully charged. When the battery is fully charged, the charging process stops and all ...
