How to detect non rechargeable batteries?

Battery Management
1

Hey ALL,

I currently implementing a power management circuit for an hand held device. I recently acquired the MP2733 to incorporate in my solution. The question is simple, what if the user inserts a non rechargeable battery in the system? How can I detect that and avoid charging a non rechargeable battery?

Thank you,

Nelson

Hello @nelson.cavaco.ext,

The charger won’t be able to detect if the battery is non-rechargeable and cannot avoid it charging. It might also detect a fault condition and might damage the non-rechargeable battery as well.
