Battery Charger Next Generation: request for comments
What kind of battery charger would YOU like?
Since battery chargers have always been a popular subject among our readers and followers, we were having a discussion in our lab about the kind of battery charger we should design now.
"Should we make a charger for lead-acid batteries?", asked one designer.
"No, no, no!", said another, "that is so old skool, let's make a charger for 20 NiMH cells."
"Nah", said a third, "let's make a charger for 3S or 4S LiPo's!"
Then a fourth designer entered the discussion and it went on and on and on!
So, to end the discussion, it is now up to you to enter the discussion and come up with a decisive answer...
