Lithium Ion Solar Battery Charger-#2 -  A single lithium ion battery cell needs 4.2v from a current source to insure it is fully charged.  A solar panel with just enough individual cells wired in series to produce the needed voltage would be more efficient than one with more cells for a given surface area.  If you divide 4.2 by eight you come up with a figure of 0.525 volts… . . .

Li-ion battery charger adapts to different chemistries -  09/02/99 EDN Design Idea   Rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-on) cells require a precise charging voltage for maximum performance. The battery chemistry, of which there are many, determines the optimum charge voltage. Two of the more common charging voltages are 4.1V±50 mV and 4.2V±50 mV per cell. Consider the following situation: You have thousands of three-cell Li-ion battery chargers with an output voltage of 12.6V±1%. However, because of a battery-chemistry change, your chargers now need 12.3V±1%. The 12.6V output is well-regulated and has current limiting, but the voltage is 300 mV too high, and you cannot easily adjust it __   by Fran Hoffart, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA

Lithium Ion, Lithium Poly Charger Circuit -  The above circuit will charge any 2-cell * Li-Ion battery pack. Maximum current is about 650 milliamps. The circuit is designed for batteries of 900mah or higher. Note this circuit is NOT for Li-Metal batts (i. e. Duralites). Power source can be a 12v Gell cell (Power panel) , or can be powered by a car's cigarette lighter. I use an old 12v DC wall transformer (800ma or more.) Radio shack sells a 12v/1amp wall DC adapter #273-1776 that will work. Supply does not need to be regulated. In fact my cheap supply outputs 17 volts with no load __ .
