Title:
METHODS FOR CHARGING METAL-AIR CELLS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/098916
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods of charging a metal-air battery are provided. In some embodiments, a method includes charging the metal-air battery using one of constant current charging or constant voltage charging during a first portion of a charging cycle, detecting the occurrence of a condition, and charging the metal-air battery using the other of the constant current charging or constant voltage charging during a second portion of the charging cycle after detecting the occurrence of the condition. In some embodiments, a method includes charging the metal-air battery using a pulse charge.
