Abstract

A method () and system () of adjusting a charging current to one or more cells () is provided. The method includes obtaining () a plurality of charging time periods, where each charging time period defined as a time period required to charge the one or more cells with a predefined current at one of a plurality of different temperatures. A temperature of the one or more cells is determined (). A predetermined current is scaled () by a quotient of a first charging time period defined by a first one of the plurality of different temperatures divided by a second charging time period defined by a second one of the plurality of different temperatures to obtain a magnitude of the charging current. The cells are charged () with the charging current at the magnitude to more rapidly charge the one or more cells at temperatures above room temperature.
