    Three phase controlled rectifier for unusual battery charging application

    Hi, I'm building an engine driven generator to charge a 48V 300Ah LiFePO4 battery bank. The generator will output three phase power at 90 Vac line-to-line, 170 Hz. Electrical output power will be about 10kW at best efficiency point. I'm looking at options for how best to use this output to...

    DW01A on pcb and integrated on lipo: double charging protection ... will it still work?

    I've designed a circuit around the tp4056 with DW01A and FS8205A included, as well as load sharing capabilities. beneath circuit is what i use (minus load sharing) now that i'm sourcing lipo batteries, i see most of them have a protection circuit already build in with the same DW01A and...

    Buck and Boost Converter -Charging

    I want to make an energy control system on a stationary bike. The main input comes from the generator and the secondary input comes from the 6V battery. The voltage from the generator ranges from 1-10V, so I need to make a buck converter to 5V as load power supply. before pedaling, the power...

    Charging 18650s - Series or parallel? Reverse polarity protection?

    So, I have a few things which use 18650 cells. I also have a balance charger for hobby RC aircraft, an IMax B6AC to be precise. Instead of buying an 18650 charger I went for the cheaper option of using the balance charger that I already own. It comes with several outputs, one being two female...

    IP5306 Charging Circuit works for 33 seconds then strangely stops

    I'm new to circuit design. I'm using an Injoinic IP5306 battery charging IC (datasheet). I also use an AMS1117-3.3 (datasheet) to drop down the 5V power it produces to 3.3V. I've attached a picture of my schematic which shows the relevant portions, the IP5306 in single-LED configuration, the...

    USB Charger Circuit - Initial Consumption Before Power Negotiation - Timing?

    Hello, I have a voltage regulator (switching & boost regulator) who's output voltage is being set/controlled by a microcontroller. I can set the output voltage to anything between 4.5 volts and 6.5 volts. Under normal operation, the voltage is always going to be between 5.2 volts and 6.5 volts -...

    Li-Ion Battery Managment IC Issue

    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...
