Good question, I never asked my self.
But it seems no problem at all, I've very bad contacts, (you can even
hear and or see them sometimes when the charge process is going on).
I guess bad contacts are burned clean or something like that. The method
is patented and as far as I know there isn't any charge algoritme that
beats it. Look here for more information

Are you afraid of destroying the motors sue to the charge process ?
Because it's a current method, you can keep the voltage below a desired
value.
