Charge termination is the method used to determine when a battery has reached full charge and should stop charging.
Expanded Explanation
Proper charge termination prevents overcharging, which can damage battery cells and reduce safety. Termination methods may include voltage thresholds, current tapering, temperature monitoring, or communication between the battery and charger. Accurate charge termination is especially important for lithium-based batteries.
Why it matters
Incorrect charge termination can shorten battery life or create safety risks.
