How Over Discharge Protection Works in Battery Chargers

The overcurrent detection circuit monitors the current flowing into or out of the battery and cuts off the current when it exceeds the predefined threshold. The threshold is typically set based on the battery''s maximum safe current rating, which can range from a few hundred milliamps for small batteries to several amps for high-capacity ...
