Abstract
A method for charging batteries using a solid state battery charger is disclosed which includes the steps of supplying a constant current to the batteries being charged until the battery voltage reaches a first threshold voltage value, supplying a constant voltage to the batteries being charged until current being drawn by the batteries reaches a threshold current value and supplying a constant current to the batteries being charged until a voltage rise per unit time threshold is met.
