I'm currently using the BQ25171EVM to verify the charging of a 7-cell NiMH rechargeable battery.
Please let me know if there is any possible reason for the following situation.
(1) I have confirmed that I can charge a 3.7V 40mA lithium polymer battery in advance, so I have confirmed that there is no problem with the board itself.
(2) When a 7-cell NiMH rechargeable battery is connected, both STAT1 and STAT2 LEDs do not light up and charging is not performed.
(3) The voltage of the 7-cell rechargeable nickel-hydrogen battery is 8.5V.
