17.5V ?? Yes we know that the voltage is CV at 17.5
The rate is usually expressed in AMPS ... as that is what the time to charge calculation is based on.
Yes Nigel, I am well aware of the relationship of voltage and current. As I mentioned to you some time ago, I invented the world's first micro-processor controlled charger, and have a patent for same. But, if as you say, you can increase the rate of charge, then given that it normally does 5 amps at 17.5 volts, then the only way you can increase the rate is to increase the voltage so that the pack charges at a greater ampere rate. I always assumed that the battery pack itself controlled the charge rate/current, but if it can be forced to charge faster, then there is no constant current regulator in the pack, so an increase in voltage will be required.
