Many individuals, however, do not understand how rechargeable batteries and the cell phone chargers that charge them work. By understanding the basics of batteries and battery charging, cell phone users can not only understand how their cell phone charger functions, but learn how to get the most out of the charging process.
Charging Stages
When a cell phone is first connected to a charger, it is in the first stage of charging. Here, the battery's voltage increases quickly and significantly, due to a constant current from the charger. The battery enters into the second stage once its voltage peaks and current from the charger begins to decrease. At stage three of the charging process, the battery is fully charged and the charger cuts the current off from the cell phone completely. After this, the battery enters into stage four, standby mode, in which the charger only supplies the battery with a topping charge when the battery cells drop below a specified voltage.
