1. A method of charging a battery pack coupled to a battery charger comprising:
- determining a voltage of a plurality of battery cells in the battery pack;
selecting a charge current from amongst two or more different charge currents based on the determined voltage of the plurality of battery cells when the determined voltage of the plurality of battery cells is below a target charge value; and
delivering the selected charge current to the plurality of battery cells.

Abstract
A charger and a method for charging a battery pack having a plurality of battery cells is presented. The method includes measuring the voltage of the battery cell(s), comparing the voltage measurement(s) of the cell(s) to a target charge voltage value and if the voltage measurement(s) of the cell(s) is not greater than or equal to the target charge voltage value than setting a current for the battery pack based on the voltage measurement(s) of the cell(s).
