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.
