I like the NVDC architecture of the bq24770. It solves a lot of problems for us. However, we need to charge a SLA battery.
Since the bq24770 is host controlled, is there any reason I cannot charge a 12V/3A SLA battery?
I understand the charging algorithm for SLA batteries (I basically want to imitate the bq2031 device.) I am curious what the steps are to implement that algorithm on the bq24770?
Foe example, can I set the bq24770 current (charging) and not set the bq24770 voltage? Then monitor the battery voltage until it reaches Vbulk, and set the bq24770 to a constant voltage but stop the bq24770 from charging?
I'm unsure how this would work.
Thank you.
