Bq24210 - Solar Charger Question

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24210

Hello.

I'm looking to build a solar panel, lithium ion battery charger. There will be a system load connected to the BAT pin along with the battery.

From what I can see in the datasheet the system load could overdischarge the battery if the solar panel connected. Using a battery with protection may prevent the Bq24210 from charging the battery when the panel is reconnected. Do you have any advice for protection against overdischarge whilst allowing the battery to charge? Will the system load drawing too much current affect the charging of the battery?

Many thanks,

Ben.
