  • Patent number: 9287727
    Abstract: Systems and methods comprise setting a digital-to-analog converter of a charger to a set voltage. The set voltage is a maximum voltage allowable for a battery type. An output voltage of the charger is determined when the charger is operating at the set voltage. An offset voltage is determined by comparing the output voltage to the set voltage. A cutoff voltage of a battery is determined using the offset voltage and the open circuit voltage. Charger voltage is adaptively adjusted in response to the cutoff voltage, and the adjusting prevents an over potential to the battery.
