Battery Chargers | Vibepedia

A battery charger is a device that stores energy in an electric battery by running current through it. The charging protocol depends on the size and type of the battery being charged. Some battery types have high tolerance for overcharging, while others cannot withstand it and may become damaged or even explode. Battery chargers have evolved over time, from simple devices that must be manually disconnected to more complex ones with temperature or voltage sensing circuits and microprocessor controllers. Today, battery chargers are used in a wide range of applications, from consumer electronics to electric vehicles.
