Deep Discharge Protector for 3.6V Li-Ion Battery

Deep Discharge Protector for 3.6V Li-Ion Battery

A rechargeable battery's load should be disconnected at the point of complete discharge, to avoid a further (deep) discharge that can shorten its life or destroy it. Because a battery's terminal voltage recovers when you disconnect the load, you can't simply disconnect the load when...
