MOS is used to control continuous current. Often found in small-format battery packs. Advantages are

  • Longer cycle-life

  • Smaller profile

  • Heat suppression

  • More flexible PCB design

A single MOS usually reaches a maximum of 3A. A dual MOS configuration can reach higher current loads.
