BQ24725A in Power Bank

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24725A

Hi, i want use BQ24725A in my design of power bank. Battery 3s2p. Question is - can BQ24725A charge with DC 5V input voltage and charge 12.6v battery pack ? And if answer is - no, what kind of power supply i need to use. In datasheet sets AC supply, can i use a DC? Can you help to pick correct controller.

  • The bq24725A uses buck topology, thus input voltage needs to be higher than the output voltage.

    In your case, the battery regulation voltage is 12.6V, so you will need a 20V adpater/power supply.

    AC refers to AC adapter which has DC output.
