1. During the fast charge phase the process proceeds with a current limited charging this current limit depends on the required time for the complete charge and from the battery pack capacity During this phase the voltage across the battery terminals still raises but at a lower rate Once the battery voltage reaches its maximum voltage then the process goes into its third state Final charging The voltage measure to change the process status into final charge is very important It must be ensured that the maximum battery voltage is never exceeded otherwise the battery may be damaged and even explode Moreover for the constant voltage final chargers the constant voltage phase final charge must not start before the battery voltage has reached its maximum value otherwise the battery capacity will be highly reduced The final charge can be of two different types constant voltage or pulsed GE864 QUAD PY uses constant voltage r3 Jie te ds E Reproduction forbidden without Telit Communications S p A written authorization All Rights Reserved page 23 of 77 Z e Telit GE864 Hardware User Guide 1vv0300694 Rev 7 08 02 07 The constant voltage charge proceeds with a fixed voltage regulator very accurately set to the maximum battery voltage and hence the current will decrease while the battery is becoming charged When the charging current falls below a certain fraction of the fast charge current value then the battery is consi

4. Guidelines The thermal design for the power supply heat sink should be done with the following specifications e Average current consumption during transmission PWR level max 500mA e Average current consumption during transmission PWR level min 100mA e Average current during Power Saving CFUN 5 4mA e Average current during idle Power Saving disabled 23mA NOTE The average consumption during transmissions depends on the power level at which the device is requested to transmit by the network The average current consumption hence varies significantly Considering the very low current during idle especially if Power Saving function is enabled it is possible to consider from the thermal point of view that the device absorbs current significantly only during calls If we assume that the device stays into transmission for short periods of time let s say few minutes and then remains for a quite long time in idle let s say one hour then the power supply has always the time to cool down between the calls and the heat sink could be smaller than the calculated one for 500mA maximum RMS current or even could be the simple chip package no heat sink Moreover in the average network conditions the device is requested to transmit at a lower power level than the maximum and hence the current consumption will be less than the 500mA being usually around 150mA For these reasons the thermal design is rarely a concern and the simple ground
