Bidirectional current

A bidirectional current (BidC) ^[1] is one which both charges and discharges at once. It is a current that flows primarily in one direction and then in the other. ^[2]

Complicated systems which have integrated recharging capability sometimes resort to using bidirectional currents, as in Laptops or other systems. Monitoring of a bidirectional current is required for a laptop to report the battery level and charging status.^[3] Components are available for this purpose.^[4]
