After charging at 0.1It for 16 hours, discharging at 0.2It.
For reference only.
Need specially designed control system
Control System:
dT/dt cut-off; 1 to 2°C/min
-UV cut-off; -UV per cell = 5 to 10 mV
T-control; T=65°C
Rapid charger timer; 2.4h (at 1.25a)
Trickle timer; within 2h
Note: [It] was previously expressed as [C]. [It] is an IEC standard expression
for the amount of charge or discharge current and is expressed as:
It(A) = Cn (Ah)/1h
4
With control system
* [It] is the reference test current in ampres
* [Cn] is the rated capacity of the cell or battery in Ampere-hours.
n = the time base [hours] for which the rated capacity is declared
Battery performance and cycle life are strongly affected by how they
are used. In order to maximize battery safety, please consult Panasonic
when determining charge / discharge specs, warning label contents
and unit design.
