5.Battery Chemistry

Batter chemistry is another imperative aspect to examine while choosing a battery charger. You must ensure that the charger is compatible with your battery’s chemistry. Not doing so can damage the battery or affect charging. Check the battery labels, documentation or packaging that comes with the battery to know its category and chemistry before considering a charger’s rated power and features.

6. Battery Charger Capability and Cooling Process

Cooling is a crucial aspect you must check before you finalize a battery charger. Common cooling techniques include fan-less natural cooling, water cooling and air- cooling design. A fan-less design can help lower the chance of malfunctioning due to dust and dirt accumulation on the fan. But natural heat dissipation without resulting in heat build-up and the high temperature remains challenging for the product’s structural design.

7. Features like Safe Charging Mode

While charging speed and efficiency matter, one cannot discount charging safety. The lithium-ion battery charger you choose must charge the device safely. Along with efficiency, a thoughtfullydesigned charger should have an optimized charging curve design and various charging modes like pre-charge mode, current CC mode, floating charge mode and constant voltage CV mode. In addition, it should have complete charging protection designs and must meet the necessary regulations.
