Such high-charging rates are possible only with some battery types. Others will be damaged or possibly overheat or catch fire. Some batteries may even explode. [9] For example, an automobile SLI (starting, lighting, ignition) lead–acid battery carries several risks of explosion. A newer type of charger is known as a solid-state charger.
Charge injection, where hot carriers generated by avalanche breakdown are injected into the oxide layer. Catastrophic ESD failure modes include: Junction burnout, where a conductive path forms through the junction and shorts it; Metallisation burnout, where melting or vaporizing of a part of the metal interconnect interrupts it
A shunt charge controller or shunt regulator diverts excess electricity to an auxiliary or "shunt" load, such as an electric water heater, when batteries are full. [7] Simple charge controllers stop charging a battery when they exceed a set high voltage level, and re-enable charging when battery voltage drops back below that level.

Glitched and garbled display on a workstation laptop with a defective graphics card that underwent extensive overheating from use in a hot environment. The second image shows the same laptop failing to operate properly due to a graphics card defect, crashing the operating system and displaying a blue screen of death on the screen.
Recommendations for the maximum charging current vary between C/10 [2] and C/2. [3] At high charging currents, active cooling measures may be necessary to prevent overheating. [3] The voltages in the U and U o phases (stages 2 and 3) depend on the type of battery and the temperature. Batteries have varying numbers of cells (typically six for an ...
