In this article I discuss the two methods of NiCd and NiMH charging -- standard and trickle. The "overnight" charger that comes with most rechargeable powered products charges at a rate of C/10 (the C rate is the hour capacity of the battery, i.e. a typical AA NiCd battery of 600mAh capacity has a C rate of 600mA, and a C/10 rate of 60mA). There is a very good reason why the manufacturer chose this rate. If the charger uses a higher rate, it would have to detect when the batteries are fully charged and shut off, or risk damaging them.

The key to preventing battery failures is to minimize any misuse and to track their capacity and other key characteristics. A battery monitoring program will identify a rapidly deteriorating battery before it actually fails. The first part of a battery monitoring program is to regularly measure their capacity. Capacity is the amount of charge available from a battery, measured in ampere-hours (Ah) for large cells, milliampere-hours (mAh) for smaller cells. A typical AA size battery has a rated capacity of 600mAh, thus it can supply 600mA for at least one hour or 100mA for at least six hours. Manufacturers conservatively rate battery capacity so that, in general, the measured capacity (which we discuss below) should be greater than the rated amount.

When a device is reported as faulty, the person taking the call should ask for details of the device, whether the device has failed safe, (any patient injury / incident reported?), what the symptoms of the failure are, and the location of the device. This should then be logged into the inventory management system and the job allocated to the appropriate technician. Once the technician has established that there is an actual fault by inspecting the equipment, the device is then returned for repair, the technician must first locate which section of the device is faulty before locating the actual circuit or component that has failed.

This written guide will help beginners and novices to obtain effective results when soldering electronic components. If you have little or no experience of using a soldering iron, then EPE recommends that you practice your soldering technique on some fresh surplus components and clean stripboard (protoboard), before experimenting with a proper constructional project. This will help you to avoid the risk of disappointment when you start to assemble your first prototypes.
