The simplest protection against reverse battery protection is a diode in series with the battery, as seen in Figure 1. Figure 1. Diode in Series With Battery In Figure 1, the diode becomes forward biased and the load’s normal operating current flows through the diode.
A variety of circuits can provide this assurance. The simplest form of battery-reversal protection is a diode in series with the positive supply line (Figure 1a). The diode allows current from a correctly installed battery to flow to the load and blocks current flow to a backward-installed battery.
In general, these batteries offer no mechanical means for preventing the reversal of one or more cells. For these systems, a designer must ensure that any flow of reverse current is low enough to avoid damaging the circuit or the battery. A variety of circuits can provide this assurance.
In battery-operated devices that have removable batteries, you usually need to prevent the batteries being connected the wrong way to prevent damage to the electronics, accidental short-circuiting, or other inappropriate operation. If that is not possible by physical means, you need to include some electronic reverse current protection.
The effects of a reversed battery are critical. Unfortunately, it is difficult to guard against this situation. To make equipment resistant to batteries installed backward, you must design either a mechanical block to the reverse installation or an electrical safeguard that prevents ill effects when the reverse installation occurs.
If the application calls for an alkaline or other type of battery with relatively high output impedance, you can guard against reverse installations using a parallel (shunt) diode. The circuit in Figure 1b is simple but far from ideal. This approach protects the load yet draws high current from the shorted battery.
