The purpose of local sensing at the terminals (the charger's voltage-control circuit's feedback loop sense point) that I'm talking about is for the charger to maintain right on the battery's terminals whatever voltage is automatically or manually set at the charger.
The battery's "intrinsic" voltage will eventually rise to match this voltage value as the battery charges -> as long as the charger remains turned on and set at this voltage value.
The caveat is ... the charger will have to supply as much current as the battery wants all along as this process proceeds ... which may require a charger with a large current capacity.
This is what "constant voltage - infinite current" charging is ... which is the fastest way to charge if you have the equipment to support it.
