Single Cell Low Current Li-Po Charger

Small current Li-Po charger image


Modern Li-Po cells come in capacities as small as 10mAh.
Charging them presents a problem since many high performance chargers cannot provide charging currents below 100mA.
Considering that most Li-Po cells have maximum charging current of 1C to 2C there is a requirement for
a charger that can provide low charging current while maintaining strict requirements of Li-Po charging process.
