Custom Lithium Charger?

Dioxel · Post by **Dioxel** » Sat Jan 29, 2005 7:08 am

I plan on using two 3.6v 2400 mAh "AA" Rechargeable Lithium batteries to run my SNES motherboard and PSone screen.

Here's a link for the battery.

The problem is that I can't find a charger for this style battery. So I was wondering if I could make my own using a battery holder and a Smart Charger. Or does anyone know where I can get a specifically made Lithium Battery Charger?

-------------------------------

And another thing. I know running a Series of batteries will increase the voltage. But does it affect the batteries' mAh at all? Will that increase too?

Thanks in advance for all help and suggestions...

get a litium ion battery charger chip. I think www.maxum-ic.com has them.

God bless this forum.

I recently bought a li-ion batter off ebay and was conserned about how I would charge it, as I dont think it comes with one.

Thanks Jack.

Be careful when mixing and matching lithium chargers, as those batteries will go off like a bomb when not charged correctly.

That just sucks. I bought a cheap (but new) replacement battery for DVD-l100/200 Samsugn and now i need to make/buy a charger. I think I'll just bite the bullet and buy the universal adapter I saw that mentions those models.

By the way I paid $1.25 for the battery its self and a total of ~$11.

hmm... the charger IC I looked at on digikey could charge upto 1.5A/H at 4.7V, so I don't think it'd work on multiple cells (unless you switched the cell configuration to charge them)
