Battery Charging
When using this power supply to charge a battery, take the following precautions to
prevent damage to the supply and/or the battery
in case the overvoltage protection
(OVP) circuit is activated
.
1. Select a diode rated to handle the required charging current and voltage. Use the
following table as a reference.
2. Connect the diode in series with either supply output to prevent the battery from
discharging through the internal OVP crowbar transistor. The diode must be
mounted on a suitably-rated heatsink to prevent its case temperature from
exceeding the manufacturer's maximum limits.
