  • Hi MJ,

    Can you tell us a little more about the specs for your application? What kind of battery are you planning on using?

    Best,

  • Hi, Jessica

    Thank you for reply.

    What information do I need to make a product recommendation?

    If you tell us the information you need, we will pass it on to you.

    Thanks.

  • Hello MJ,

    Sorry for the delay.

    The BQ40Z50-R4 is the best suited for notebook applications, it has the most gauging options and can be configured for 1S-4S packs.

    The BQ28Z610-R1 is also a good option if the it is a 1S-2S pack. Both these gauges have integrated protections.

    If you do not want integrated protections and it is a 1S pack, you can use the BQ27z561 which is ideal for only gauging 1S systems.

    For the charger, I would recommend making a separate post for the charger team by linking one of the chargers you're considering.

    Things needed for the charger IC recommendation: Input voltage/current, charge current, number of cells, communication interface.

    If your input voltage is 5V with a 1S pack and I2C communication, the BQ25601 may be a good starting point.

    Sincerely,

    Wyatt Keller
