Re: New Backup Battery Circuit

Cjohnson,
I like some aspects of your design, but I think the battery in question wants to be charged at no higher than 1/10 C or 70 ma without a smart monitor. With different electronics driving the charge rate and monitoring the battery, you can charge at 1/3 C or about 230 ma. Any greater current than this might damage your battery or worse.
