3.3.2 Battery ORing System

This design discharges the batteries through ideal diodes. This results in a discharge current proportional to the battery voltage until the batteries are discharged to an even voltage. Battery A measured 14.429 V and Battery B measured 13.858 V at the beginning of the test. Multimeters were hooked up in series with the positive terminals of the batteries to measure discharge current. The E-Load was set to draw a 5-A constant current from the system rail (the DMMs used for testing were only rated for 3 A each).
