    Hi,

    The chargers are essentially power supplies with complex state machines and analog feedback loops while the gauges are micro-controllers using ADCs and digital logic. The chargers usually only charge batteries, but do not report battery capacity.

    The BQ75952 is battery monitor & protector. It does not charge battery. It is ok to use a charger and a battery monitor & protector together.

    This is charger support. Please submit another thread for battery monitor/gauge suggestions.

    Thanks,

    Ning
