Hi all,
I was wondering what you guys do when you need to design a device operated by several NiMh batteries in Series.
To minimize the risk of reverse charge the batteries should be as similar as possible. However this does not guarantee that reverse charge will be prevented.
The simplest solution I can think of is to monitor the voltage: either total or individual cell voltage. In this case, how much can I safely discharge a battery?
Do you have other suggestions?
thanks
