Abstract: A method for charging a battery or battery pack (206) provides a scheme for terminating a rapid charging regime only after both a temperature and voltage threshold are exceeded. This allows a battery to continue to receive a rapid charge even when battery temperatures are rising rapidly due to external (non-charge related) conditions.
