Abstract: A 15-20 min recharging system for sealed cylindrical flashlight-type nickel-cadmium batteries is now available for electronic newsgathering and other applications. This ReFLEX-20 charger can recharge various sizes of battery packs—sub C, D and larger and offers the advantages of greatly reduced recharging time, negligible battery capacity fading, and up to 10 times longer battery cycle life. The principle of “ReFLEX charging” is to alternate high-energy charging periods with automatically varying lower-energy discharge pulses that in effect act as “burps.” The ReFLEX-20 system, which also includes specially manufactured and matched batteries, complements the larger ReFLEX charger which has been used for some years to recharge aircraft sintered and vented nickel-cadmium batteries. Five significant problems that are encountered with sealed nickel-cadmium batteries and conventional chargers are overcome with the ReFLEX-20 system.
