Charging and Supplying Power Simultaneously

mwdy319
mwdy319 over 4 years ago

Hello,

 

I'm trying to create a circuit which allows the battery and/or power bank to supply and receive power (be charged) at the same time.
I tried using microchip 5V regulator and diode, but not really sure because it still doesn't work.

Any advise/input/feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers

    Pulling power from a battery as it is being charged is not really a good idea (especially when you are relying on circuitry that is unknown to you). A lot (by no means all) battery charger for Li-Ion batteries…

    Most chargers that can supply more current than your circuit requires will charge the battery and supply load current at the same time. Low cost trickle chargers may not be able to supply enough current…

    What I mean is, if you have a phone, when you plug the charger in (I'm not really sure how it works), it starts being powered by the power input while you're using it but also charges battery. Similar to that concept, perhaps.
