Lead Acid Battery Charger Development board/IC

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24650

Hi,

we are looking for a Solar power supply based Lead acid battery charger, it should able to handle 60A current max, and input voltage range from 6V-24V and adjustable output (3V-12V) at 3A and ably power both the load and Battery simiultaneously.Need your thoughts for the Right Charging Mechanism and available development boards.

  • Hi Ayla,

    The closest fit is the BQ24650 modified as explained in the app note below.  The charger cannot driver FETs to 60A unless FET gate driver circuits are added. 

     I also recommend reviewing the app note below to prevent leakage during shading

     Regards,

    Jeff
