Hi All.
 

Will be doing a little project that requires monitoring a battery.
Reading thru the SXB online doc that we just printed out ..

It occurs to me that it would be easy to accomplish that using the

schematic on page 37..

 

With monitoring a battery we mean charge it when needed..

So if the voltage across the battery terminals falls below a certain value

start charging and when the voltage reaches the max voltage allowed

across the battery .. stop charging..or maybe even trickle charge...

 

Some of the commercially available chips from MAXIM ( 712/713) and many other 

from vendors like LTC    SGS etc  are not readily available and now with the 

low cost of the SX chips .. that sounds like a good application for them.

 

Has anybody already been down this path and willing to share their findings.

I will be exploring this issue in depth so will share what we find as time goes on.

 

Cheers
