View more6 FAQs about [How to switch between main and backup batteries in dual power supply]
Do I need a back-up battery or secondary power rail?
There are several key applications that require back-up battery or secondary power rail. In industrial applications, often times if the main power rail fails, a back-up battery is required to supply power to the system long enough to save data or send communications before shutting down.
What is a back-up power supply solution?
This application note details a back-up power supply solution that uses a voltage supervisor to monitor a main power rail and if the main power rail falls to an undervoltage condition, a secondary power rail from a back-up battery is automatically switched into the system to provide continuous power to the output.
How can I use a line-powered switching power supply instead of a battery?
simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab If you always want to use the line-powered switching power supply in preference to the solar-charged battery, then arrange that power supply to put out a little higher voltage than the battery. It doesn't need to be much, even just a few 100 mV would do it.
Can I use a battery instead of a relay?
A relay will have some switching time with no power output. You could use a power supply with a higher voltage than the battery, both the battery and the power supply have their own diode feeding the Arduino. As long as the mains are good the higher voltage will block the current from the battery.
Can a portable equipment operate from a battery pack or external power source?
Portable equipment that can operate from a battery pack or an external power source (such as a wall-adapter or external supply) needs to be able to smoothly switch between the two power sources. This application note describes a circuit (Figure 1) that switches power sources with good efficiency and without switching noise. Figure 1.
Can a battery be used as a power source?
The battery must be used as the power source of the system if main power source gets lower than target voltage to maintain minimum Vout. MCU can be used to monitor the power inputs and select the power source with GPIO between battery and main power source. However, this means MCU must be in active mode even using battery as a power source.
