#116348 - Reverse insertion of battery
Hi,

I have developed a device that operates on rechargeable Li-ion battery. The battery is in-built and it is charged by connecting to a charger unit. Everything is OK so far.

Recently the ID (Industrial Design) guys have come out with a new design which is attractive, apealing and user friendly (mechanically). Now the issue is the device will /can be connected to the charger in any way ie., normal/ reverse, as there is no mechanical polarisation. I was asked to look into the possibilty of charging the battery irrespective of the way the unit is connected. This is to take away the hassle for the user to put it in correctly. I can have only two connections going to the device from the charger. So, is there a way or technic to indentify reverse insertion of battery electronically?

regards,
