Abstract :
Since the policies of the space agencies are focused on the development of smaller satellites, it is becoming more and more important the save of volume and mass in the necessary satellite equipment. Due to this need, the authors introduce a bi-directional battery discharge-charge regulator for low voltage batteries that reaches these new goals and besides which has high efficiency
