The bq24650 is buck charger. So, it can not boost 12V input to charge a 24V battery.

Thanks

Hi Tahar,

I found this application note which mentions that the BQ24650 can be used as Boost Charger. So can be used to boost supply of 12V (from a solar panel) to charge a 24V battery? How will the MPPT be implemented?

Thanks for your time

You can use it as long as you design your boost converter appropriately for these specs.

For the MPPT point, use the equation 2 from the datasheet.

Thanks!

Hi Tahar,

Are there any circuit examples out there which i can use? The circuit in the application note is for boosting from 5v to 12V also it does not show or tell if MPPT can be used in boost mode. Amy help will be great

Hi,

No, as far as I know, we do not have anything for your spec. But, the only change is the power stage that needs to be redesigned for your spec.

Thanks!
