What is the size of the a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack?

A rechargeable Lithium ion 7.4V battery pack with 1500mAh capacity. Measures 59 x 30 x 18mm and is terminated with 3 pin balanced plug for charging and a high density ABS T plug for high current power transfer. May suit other RC products.

Can a bench power supply charge a lithium ion battery?

David Jones' video tutorial shows you how to safely charge Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer batteries using a bench power supply. The purpose of this tutorial is to learn how to use your lab power supply to charge your Lithium Ion battery when you don’t have a special charger circuit.

Can a lithium battery pack be overcharged?

Most battery pack chargers for lithium-ion batteries are designed to prevent overcharging. However, using the wrong charger can cause overcharging or over voltage of the lithium battery pack as well as swelling. In addition, a lithium battery pack should never be charged in cold temperatures (below 32°F).

Can a power supply equalize a lead acid battery?

You can also use the power supply to equalize a lead acid battery by setting the charge voltage 10 percent higher than recommended. The time in overcharge is critical and must be carefully observed. (See BU-404: What is Equalizing Charge) A power supply can also reverse sulfation.

Can a lab power supply charge a lithium ion battery?

The purpose of this tutorial is to learn how to use your lab power supply to charge your Lithium Ion battery when you don’t have a special charger circuit. He used NCR18650B in his tutorial, a 3.6V 3400mAh Lithium Ion battery from Panasonic.

Can You charge nickel based batteries with a power supply?

Charging nickel-based batteries with a power supply is challenging because the full-charge detection is rooted in a voltage signature that varies with the applied charge current. If you must charge NiCd and NiMH with a regulated power supply, use the temperature rise on a 0.3–1C rapid charge as an indication of full charge.
