Hi experts,
We would like to use LM3401 as a constant voltage constant current source in float charging a 24V lead acid battery, the requirement is as below :
1) Output 27.3V when current consumed is lesser than 0.6A (Voltage in range 27.0V to 27.5V is ok)
2) When current consumed more than 0.6A, the circuit will limit to 0.6A with the voltage applied to battery lowered down
Questions here:
1) Is this device suitable for this application ?
2) If the current is lesser than 0.6A, the voltage apply to the battery will equal to Vin ? How much voltage loss will there be ? Is it ok applying 27.5V DC to the LM3401 Vin ?
Thanks.
