NTC thermistor in BQ40z50EVM-561 and final battery pack design

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ40Z50-R1, BQ40Z50EVM-561

Hi, 

I have 2 questions on the hardware design for BQ40z50-R1

1. I notice that the EVM BQ40z50EVM-561 uses a normal 10k resistor (CRCW120610K0JNEA) as NTC.  Is it ok to do in final production? 

2. On the EVM, the Self Control protector (SCP) fuse is not a popular part that we can buy in US.  It looks like the part’s only available in Japan. www.dexerials.jp/.../sfh0412.html . Do you recommend using this part, or do you have an alternative part/solution that is more popular?

Thanks for your help!

Long
