Yes, a battery can charge and supply load at the same time. This capability is typically found in specific setups, such as those using smart battery management systems.

My aim is to be able to power my Arduino while there is a power supply and if there isn''t the Arduino automatically switches over to the battery. The components connected
The standard solution is get a power supply/ motor that can handle the load all the time. With that being said I wouldn''t just wire the power supply in parallel with the battery as long term solution, I have done for short term testing though. Since you will basically be charging the battery at all times this can damages many battery types. If
The common solution to this challenge is to use the mains regulated DC supply as a battery charger. With mains present, the DC supply will maintain/charge the battery and power connected peripherals at the same time. You need to regulate the DC supply output voltage to match the battery maintenance-charge level (about 13.7V). At this level, you
From a DC perspective, if the battery is at a higher voltage than the PSU, then the battery supplies the load. How the PSU responds depends on it, perhaps it will see no load and do nothing. If the difference is great enough then it could see an overvoltage and shut down.
If it''s a rechargeable battery you can just have them both hooked up at the same time. There''s a lot of nuance to that, around wire lengths and droop under load and so on, but at a high level it''s fairly harmless to put a power supply across
Solar batteries, also termed solar battery banks, are rechargeable battery systems that store energy from solar panels. They allow solar energy to be utilized day and night in off-grid settings. With solar power adoption rising, many wonder if these batteries can charge and supply electricity simultaneously. It is vital to know whether simultaneous solar battery...
"Charging at all time" MUST mean you have power all the time so why not get rid of the LiPo and feed the circuit (load) from a regular power supply. If in fact you don''t charge all the time, then why not switch your circuit (load) to the alternative power source (via a regulator) when it is available. Then you don''t have to worry about the
If it''s a rechargeable battery you can just have them both hooked up at the same time. There''s a lot of nuance to that, around wire lengths and droop under load and so on, but at a high level it''s fairly harmless to put a power supply across a battery of the same voltage. [I spent a lot of time nursing a bunch of 25S lipo packs, they''re
Yes, you can simultaneously connect external power supply and USB. As explained in one of the answers, that you linked, the Arduino chooses it''s power input through the supplied voltage on Vin/barrel jack. Vin has no direct connection to the VUSB, so the USB port will not get any voltage from the external supply, thus it does not get damaged.
Sorry for such a newbie question. I am still trying to find my feet. I know that a battery cannot be charge and discharge at the same time as I find this: No, a battery can''t be charged and discharged at the same time. If a battery is connected to a charger delivering 1 A and a load drawing 3 A, then the battery will be discharged at 2 A. There
Linear LTC4067 is your solution. It will "add" both the battery load and the power supply together. the example below is taken from the LTC4067 datasheet. If you install the "optional" mosfet, you will get on OUT both the battery load and the
Can I use my 135 Ah deep cycle battery to power a 2000 W inverter and at the same time charge my battery with a 50 A, 7 stage battery charger? I don''t expect to be drawing more than 300-400 W, 240 V from the inverter. Think of it as a home-made UPS for my office.
The goal being that the motherboard always has power and I can charge the battery without discharging the battery at the same time since the power adapter can handle both powering

Part 7. 12V power supply vs. 12V battery: what''s the difference? A 12V power supply and a 12V battery may both deliver the same voltage, but they serve very different purposes. A 12V power supply is usually AC-powered, providing a steady, continuous current ideal for stationary devices that need a constant power source.
Linear LTC4067 is your solution. It will "add" both the battery load and the power supply together. the example below is taken from the LTC4067 datasheet. If you install the "optional" mosfet, you will get on OUT both the battery load and the USB load.
If I connect a 9V battery to Vin pin, can I still connect a USB cable to read serial data in Processing? Since USB cable also acts a power supply when battery is not present, I''m worried if having 2 supply sources at the same time might damage the board.
While at the same time, the battery will tie mosfet gate (low) between Mains (DC) and buck/regulator, which will stop any power from the battery going into the charge circuit. When Main (DC) is plugged in, it will supply its own mosfet''s gate to logic level one, which will allow voltage to flow any further.
Meanwhile the battery may have a BMS (battery management system) to control the charging (prevent overcharging) and to prevent / shut-off discharge when the voltage drops to a certain level. e.g. Your phone charger is not a charger - it''s
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

My aim is to be able to power my Arduino while there is a power supply and if there isn''t the Arduino automatically switches over to the battery. The components connected to the Arduino are pir sensor, smoke sensor, SIM 800L, temperature sensor, 6v relay.
West Mountain Radio make a device, the Super Power Gate, that allows you to have both the battery and a 12 volt power supply connected at the same time. The power supply will supply power when it is on and charge the batter, or you can turn the power supply off and the battery is the power supply. I have used it for a long time, it works great
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. Some charging arrangements turn off output power while charging to allow trickle chargers to be used.
My question is, can I use that docking station in the USBC port while the laptop is simultaneously plugged into the HP AC adapter? (The docking station does function with the
It will combine PV and Battery to satisfy the Load. You can limit the maximum amount of battery power you want to contribute based on the time of day or set it to max available. If the PV and Battery are not enough then it will draw from the Grid and combine all three. If you are off grid or have a blackout and have a Generator it will start
From a DC perspective, if the battery is at a higher voltage than the PSU, then the battery supplies the load. How the PSU responds depends on it, perhaps it will see no load and do nothing. If the difference is
When powering it on for the first time, use a power supply if you have one. Limit the current to 3A. This will keep everything from blowing up if something was connected wrong. Once everything is working using the power supply, you can use the battery. I would highly recommend adding a switch in-between your battery and the circuit.
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. When the mains fail the battery will have a higher voltage and provide power through its diode.
It will just allow you to run two power supplies and have them both turn on together. For example, you use one power supply to power your motherboard and hard drives, and a second one to power your video card or cards. They'll still be seperate technically.
With mains present, the DC supply will maintain/charge the battery and power connected peripherals at the same time. You need to regulate the DC supply output voltage to match the battery maintenance-charge level (about 13.7V). At this level, you can leave it connected/powered at all times. Switchover is instant as this is a hot standby connection.

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.
