Subject: Trickle Charging
From: Björn Stenberg (bjorn_at_haxx.se)
Date: 2002-12-09


Uwe,

Being the project Charger Guru, are you planning on adding some type of trickle charging to the code?

There is currently a problem with charging the Archos overnight. If the batteries get full at 4am, the unit will stay turned on and consume batteries for a number of hours until I wake up and unplug it. Thie is especially a problem if the Deep Discharge option is enabled.

Would it be feasible to add a small trickle charge that offsets this so that the batteries remain full in the morning?
