Technical FAQs 4

Why should you use an anti-backflow solution for energy storage systems?

During the discharge process of industrial and commercial energy storage systems, due to power fluctuations, changes in load power consumption and other reasons, reverse flow of electrical energy may also occur. The anti-backflow solution can effectively avoid this problem and ensure the safe and efficient operation of the energy storage system.

Why is a complete backflow prevention circuit necessary?

This is a fatal problem. For this reason, a complete backflow prevention circuit with low current leakage is necessary. The simplest and most effective measure is configuring a complete backflow prevention circuit using the ideal diode IC.

How do you make equipment resistant to batteries installed backwards?

To make equipment resistant to batteries installed backward, you must design either a mechanical block to the reverse installation or an electrical safeguard that prevents ill effects when the reverse installation occurs. Mechanical protection can be a one-way connector that accepts the battery only when oriented with the correct polarity.

Does a charger IC have a backflow prevention function?

However, for charger IC that has no built-in backflow prevention function or devices for which a device with a built-in charger IC and a device equipped with a battery are separated, it is necessary to take measures against voltage output to external terminals.
