BQ25618: Lowering battery discharge clamp current

Part Number: BQ25618

Is there a way to modify the BQ25618 battery discharge current clamp via a register write? The current default of 5A nominal is way above our typical use case and I'd like to explore dropping this to ~1A if possible.

  • Hi Nicholas, 

    There is not a register setting to adjust the maximum allowable battery discharge current through BATFET (Q4). BATFET will only turn off to stop further discharge if Ibat > Isys_OCP_Q4 spec listed on page 12 of datasheet.

    Best Regards,

    Garrett
