Simple deep discharge protection for battery operated sensors?

Maschler last edited by

Hello everybody,

I have a few mobile battery powered Ardruinos to measure the temperature. These are powered by 3 AA batteries. But always one of the three batteries is deeply discharged (0V!). To avoid this in the future, I wanted to ask if someone knows a simple circuit that prevents this? If it is possible, this circuit should not require much power.

Hope I am here in the right area of the forum

I would really like to get OTA working here as it's freezing outside and I have to go there to update the software in the greenhouse control system. So please, can we have a 'how to' step-by-step guide to OTA? Please? S.

I bought the Every because it implied it was backward compatible with the nano. No, it's not, as we found out. Be that as it may, any word on a getting the Every working with mySensors?

@Tmaster Never assume the original PCB was just a circuit of components, the PCB can incorporate RF shields and antenna radio ground planes...

It probably has to do with fewer people buying them once summer ends, so companies might lower prices to clear out stock before winter.

@wrendral said in "Remote Irrigation with LoRaWAN: LM27313 Challenges and PCB Design": I will go with a Li-Po Battery type: 304048 3.7V 1200mAh Might work, but maybe the internal protection will trigger with the high current peaks. I'd suggest you plan a 0 Ohm, (2512/THT) resistor as R2 and then replace it with a 100Ohm/1Watt if the protection triggers.

Just wanted to say thanks for this, it is still relevant and useful six years later !
