hello all,
The ACS4500BU and ACS5500BU drivers require a supply voltage (Vin) of 6V to 14V.
When using two lithium batteries in series, will the 6V requirement act to shut down the driver and protect the batteries when they both reach 3V?
If not, what else can be done to protect from overdischarging the batteries and causing battery damage?
Using protected batteries will only protect a single battery or multiple batteries in parallel but will not work for batteries in series so what else can we do?
Note: I have been informed the above drivers will cause the laser beam to blink on and off when Vin goes below 6V so maybe this is good enough of an indicator for the operator to stop and recharge the batteries. Any other options?
