Advancing the Charger to a Battery Management System

In 2001, Cadex designed a truly clever charger, many of which are still in operation today as OEM with brand names like Harris for tactical communications, Agfa for cameras, Physio Control for Defibrillators, Depui for medical devices and Explore for industrial control systems. Other organizations using this charger are New York Fire, NATO and the Saudi National Guard. This product became so successful that over 300,000 charger stations were sold. UCC stands for Universal Conditioning Charger.

In 2012, we upgraded the charger to the UCC V2. An input of 12–36 volts feeds the circuit; a buck-boost converter provides the correct voltage to charge Li-ion, NiMH and NiCd batteries. Buck-boost allows a 12 volt source from a vehicle to charge a 15 volt battery seamlessly.

We are developing the third generation charger. The UDC (photo) offers voltages to service all Li-ion systems. Our OEM customers again chose this charger for its ability to expand to a battery management system. The UDC checks capacity and advises replacement when low. The battery status is shown on optional display panels. UDC stands for Universal Diagnostic Charger. The key word is “diagnostic.”

These powerful chargers will eventually turn into quasi battery analyzers by providing state-of-health information and sharing the information with users and fleet supervisors through wireless connectivity. Smart batteries serviced on the UDC provide instant readout with request to calibrate when tracking is lost. Calibration involves a full cycle that displays the true capacity of the digital battery. The discharge circuit is built into the charger to accommodate calibration requests.
