A battery of solar cells can
recharge a NiCd battery with
better than 80%, efficiency, provided
the solar battery voltage
exceeds the fulIy charged NiCd
output by about 0.6 V. For that
case, a simple blocking diode
provides the charging path between
the two batteries. Though
inflexible, such dedicated systems
are simple and effective.
