Hello,
I have lithium-ion battery pack that consists of 21 cells( 3 parallel,7 series,one of them 4,2V 3.4Ah).
I use this battery pack with BQ7791504PW from Texas Instruments for battery protection.This IC achieves pack protection via CHG and DSG low-side NMOS FET drivers.
I use this battery...
Hey, so I am trying to design and build my own battery charger for 4 cell LiPos (including HV-LiPos with 4.35v/cell) but I don't have a lot of experience with circuit design.
I designed this circuit so that it can either supply a constant voltage or constant current to the battery with the...
Hello,
Which device best protects the rectifier and electronics inside an older style car battery charger? I have seen some manufacturers use an ATC blade fuse but I'm not sure if that will act fast enough to protect the circuits. I came across another device too, it's a Bussmann Circuit...
I'm developing a battery charger with the MCP73833 IC.
I want to set up the charge temperature window between 0 °C - 60 °C .
How can I calculate Rt1 and Rt2 ?
The equation:

I have a wireless keyboard case for my iPad mini. When it’s off and I put it to charge the charge light turns on. But when I turn on the keyboard it’s dead. I’m looking at the circuit board and I think it has to do with the battery. The board looks fine. Can someone help me ?
Hi all,
I have a question about Li-ion rechargable batteries. I have almost no experience with it. Documentation to battery is very poor, but there is an info about charging profile: Stage 1: Constant Current 0.82 Ampere (0.2C) until Voltage reach 4.2V Stage 2: Constant Voltage (4.2V) with...
Hi, I am in the process of designing a battery to use with a pair of FPV goggles for drone racing, the goggles require a 2 cell battery, but I don't have a 2 cell battery charger. I do have a bunch of TP4056 charging boards, and I was looking to design an all in one unit that would hold 2...
Hi,
I have a 10.8V Bosch battery which is standard for power tools. It has 5 terminals:
+
-
C1
C2
T
I'd like to power the device without the battery using a DC power supply. When I apply just the right voltage to + and - it doesn't work.
How am I supposed to mimick C1,C2 and T interfaces...
Hi,
I would appreciate if someone would be able to comment/advice on the following matter. I have been looking around for an IC that would charge and balance Li-Ion cells 2-3 of them in series. It seems that the balance feature is absent in most cases. MCP73841 appears to provide most of the...
Is using a UPS i.e. APC Smart-UPS (4 battery) a recognized way to charge and maintain SLA batteries (AGM) throughout the year? Given that the batteries should be discharged about every 3 months?
I am in the process of designing a MPPT controller for a wind turbine.
There are plenty of MPPT boards (with BQ24650 MPPT charge controller ICs) but these are fixed voltage MPPT designs tailored for photovoltaic applications.
So I decided to make a simple DC converter (buck boost design, non...
Hello,
I'm just now getting into creating PCB's as a hobby, and created a little board that simply consists of a BLE module powered by a tiny Lithium polymer battery (40mah). Since the max operating voltage of the module is 3.6V, I also have an LDO that will drop the voltage down to 3.3V...
