The method used to rapidly charge a nickel-cadmium battery utilizes which charging profile?

Explanation:
The charging method uses a fixed output voltage to drive the fast charge. When you apply a steady voltage to a nickel-cadmium cell, the current drawn is large at the start and naturally tapers off as the cell’s voltage rises toward the applied voltage. This fixed-voltage, current-tapering behavior lets you push charge into the cell quickly while keeping heat and overcharging in check. In practice, rapid NiCd charging with this profile is often monitored and terminated by detecting a change in voltage (such as a negative delta V) or a rise in temperature to prevent damage.
