Abstract

A process for charging a cell is disclosed. In this process, a discharged cell is connected to a charger. Discharge pulses are periodically withdrawn from the cell. Charging pulses are provided by the charger, and they are delivered to the cell only when the cell voltage at the end of the discharge interval is less than a specified reference voltage.
