I am using the above circuit to charge a 7.4V Li-ion Battery.With input MPPT voltage set at 12V, I have applied 13V input voltage to the circuit. The battery is charging at 1.4A. (according to the calculation it should be 2A). But, the input diode D1, Input capacitor C1, MOSFET Q1, diodes D3 and D4, Inductor L1 are heating too much during charging. What could be the reason of heating ? Any design problem or other?
