I would like to build a charging station for EV3 with rechargeable battery (45501).

Does the transformer (45517) give a simple stable dc voltage (power supply)? Or does it provide a controlled voltage / current depending on the charge with charging a method (CC-CV or other)? What is the charging method?

In other words: the charging intelligence is in the rechargeable battery or in the transformer?

The charging circuit is in the battery, so any 10V, 700mA DC power supply should work. The circuit driven by a MP26123 chip.

The battery schematic is available from the EV3 Hardware Developer Kit on the MINDSTORMS download page for anyone who wants to confirm this.
