This is my first project based post. I have designed a li-ion battery charging circuit with reverse battery polarity protection for both charger and load. The design is such that, it can protect both BQ24090 and outer load (between LOAD+ and LOAD-) while battery, BAT1 is connected reverse. I dont have the parts right now to test a prototype, so I have posted the circuit here for your valuable critics, whether the design is ok or wrong in any point. Note that there is a low voltage cutoff circuit which is controlled by LTC1998 with cutoff voltage 2.8V.
My design requirement is -
- Safely charge a single removable 14500 size Li-ion cell at 500 mA via USB
- Protect charger and load from reverse battery insertion (while charging and not charging)
- Disconnect battery from load below ~2.8v battery voltage
- No hidden lead parts (e.g., QFN)
