Hi Gents,
I'm trying to build a battery wich is going to used on salty water, the package is waterproof, no issue, but the charge contacts are getting oxydated due to battery getting discharged trought the salty water.
to avoid that I've firstly used a simple diode to avoid current to flow between battery contacts, but obviously when I'm charging the battery there is a voltage drop due to the diode :
I'm wondering if there is a solution to avoid any voltage drop during charge?
I've tried to use a low Rdson MOSFET, but I still got 200mV of voltage drop which makes the battery full charge not possible.
If anyone got an idea / commentI will appreciate.
regards
Bruno
