Using a diode as reverse power polarity protection as shown in Circuit 1 is a very simple and reliable solution as long as you can afford the waste of power. The chances are that with a battery-operated device you do not want to waste power, particularly if your supply voltage is already quite low and so the.

Customer ServiceSulfation can be removed from a lead-acid battery by applying an overcharge to a fully charged battery using a regulated current of around 200mA for a period of roughly 24 hours. This process can be repeated if necessary, but it is important to monitor the battery closely during the process to prevent overheating or damage.
Customer ServiceDear Battery University, correction is needed for the following in inverted commas: "Several companies offer anti-sulfation devices that apply pulses to the battery terminals to prevent and reverse sulfation. Such technologies will lower the sulfation on a healthy battery, but they cannot effectively reverse the condition once present. It''s a

Customer ServiceTo 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. Mechanical protection can be a one-way connector that accepts the battery only when oriented with the correct polarity.
Customer ServiceImplementing reverse battery protection ensures that the current and energy flow remain in the desired direction. Using reverse battery protection ICs (integrated circuits) in solar setups is an efficient way to guarantee safe charging.
Customer ServiceA heatsink can be added to the diode or multiple diodes can be connected in parallel to spread out the power dissipation, but both of these solutions increase the component cost and use valuable board space. Another technique for reverse battery protection is to include a power FET in series with the power supply path.
Afterwards, the FET conducts the current with an extremely low on resistance. When the battery is connected in reverse, the FET will be off in either implementation and no current can flow. This technique helps protect the system and the battery from the reversed polarity condition. Figure 3. Reverse Battery Protection With Supply Side Figure 4.
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.
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 first technique for implementing reverse battery protection is to include a diode in series with the power supply path, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. If the battery terminals are connected in reverse, the diode will be reverse biased and will not allow current to flow through the system.
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.
