MAX1797 batt input reversed



Hello everybody,

I wander what could happen to a MAX1797 Boost DC-DC convertor in the happening of reversing the input battery polarity. I am designing an small datalogger which runs off one 1.2V AA NiMh battery and I do not have clear if I might protect the input to the DC-DC againt battery reversal. 1.2Volts will not stand for a drop of several hundreds of milivolts due to the protection circuit. Any idea?

Thank you people.
