How do you charge a lithium battery with a bench power supply?
Set the voltage of the power supply to precisly 4.2 Volts in case of a conventional Lithium Ion battery or precisly 3.6 Volts in case of a Lithium Ferrous Phosphate battery. In terms of setting the current, set the current to approximately one-tenth the value of the capacity of the battery in Ampere-hours.
Can you use a power pack to charge a car battery?
Sadly, the short answer is ‘No’; your brand new battery-jump starter will not charge your car battery. The jump-starter is designed to give your battery a quick boost of power allowing your car’s engine to start. Then it’s job is done. A battery charger is specifically built to charge your battery over many hours.
Can a battery be charged with a bench power supply?
David Jones has another useful video tutorial about how to safely charge Lithium Ion and Lithium Polymer batteries with a bench power supply. The purpose of this tutorial is to learn how to use your lab power supply to charge your Lithium Ion battery when you don’t have a special charger circuit to do so.

What is the charge current of a lithium ion battery?
According to the datasheet, the charging current is 1625mA and the charging voltage is 4.2V. Charging consists of two stages, first one is the constant current stage where you must supply a 1625mA constant current and when the battery voltage reaches 4.20V, the second stage starts, which is the constant voltage stage.
What kind of power supply do I need to charge my battery?
The purpose of this tutorial is to learn how to use your lab power supply to charge your Lithium Ion battery when you don’t have a special charger circuit to do so. He used NCR18650B in his tutorial, a 3.6V 3400mAh Lithium Ion battery from Panasonic.
