Li-ion batteries are increasingly popular in both indoor and outdoor devices due to their high charge storage capacity. These batteries are commonly used in portable gadgets because they are compact, efficient, and offer higher energy density compared to other battery types.
However, a key drawback is the need for constant monitoring during charging and discharging. Failure to do so can damage the battery, reduce its charge capacity, and shorten its lifespan. Discharging the battery below a certain voltage can cause severe damage, while overcharging may lead to dangerous situations like an explosion.
To address these concerns, battery protection and charging circuits, like this product, are essential. The circuit uses MOSFETs to monitor the battery, providing protection against overcharge, over-discharge, and short circuits, ensuring the safe and reliable operation of the battery.
