Hi, is this possible?
(arduino uno)
What is a 'arduino battery'?
I have not chosen one yet .... I think it would be two li of 3.7V
This is possible, but anything you make from off the shelf components will probably not work well or be reliable.
There are no solar charge controllers on the hobby market that handle "load sharing". They are all intended to charge a battery that is disconnected from the load.
0k, thanks.
also, if I used two packs of batteries with the same arduino? is this possible? one charging and the other for use both with the same arduino?
All possible. How will you switch between batteries?
don't know yet ... I suppose I would replicate both circuits, and switch when needed (instead of two arduinos). would this work?
Try it and see.
I will try ... I think it would be more easy if instead of replicating the circuits, just switch the batterys
Solar and LiPo
does not go very well together.
Solar and LifePo4's, AGM, Lead Acid batteries go very well with each other.
This MPPT charge controller works very well for small projects,
SolarEnz MPPT Solar Charge Controller 5A 12V Solar Panel Mini Solar Controller PV Negative Grounded Fit for Gel Sealed Agm Flooded and Lithium LiFePO4 Battery
The above unit does load sharing.
I use heatsinks on Q2 and Q1. A reverse current solar cell protection diode is required with the charge controller.
Currently to charge LiPo's, as pictured above, with solar I use a 100W solar cell with a charge controller and a battery then into an inverter then I plug in a LiPo charger.
