Default li-ion battery charging


wrote in message
oups.com...
i have recently purchased some li-ion batteries and connected them in
parallel and series to get a rating of approx22V and 4400mAH . i am not
understanding how to charge them ,,i have a dc adapter of rating 24v
and 1.25A ,can charging from this adapter be a solution to this
problem


Absolutely not, it *will* almost certainly destroy the cells, and they may
well explode. Do a Google search- there's plenty of info on how to acheive
what you want. IIRC, basically Li-Ion cells must be charged with both
current and voltage control. It's not too technical in theory, but you can't
just bung a constant current through them and expect them to last.
