Fig. 042 shows the test setup for a very simple charge status display. After setting
up the components, rst connect the lithium rechargeable battery to the plug board
with the alligator clamps. Then the orange LED lights up. Once the USB plug
is plugged into the USB mains adapter, the rechargeable battery is charged at
approx. 200 mA. A short time later, the ashing LED starts to ash and indicates
that the rechargeable battery has reached the voltage of about 4 V. The ashing
LED will rst slow down and then speed up. This indicates that charging must be
terminated at once. A comfortable charger would do this automatically.
