There are at 3 popular methods to recharge secondary batteries, and
variations of these:

Constant current, or galvanostatic

Pulse charging

Burp or Reflex charging

I have always taken it for granted that its known which is better, but
its seems the optimal charging scheme isn't settled. If you built
your own, how did you determine the frequency and pulse widths in
positive, if you use pulse, and discharge, if you use reflex. Among
pulse chargers I've sampled the pulse widths, and frequency all vary.

I am looking for experiences with charging methods readers find
optimal and which charger you use. Most commercial chargers are
either constant current or pulse.

The few that support reflex charging are often costly, in the $300-400
range.

You stupid trolling, fuckhead.

Wow, an honest question, and a warm welcome. Thanks for nothing.

That's normal for Philthy, but if you keep top posting you'll get flamed by
a few more people.
