Hello E2E Experts,

Good day.

Is there a technical reason why a 470 Ohm resistor was used?

Hello,

Yes, the resistance should be high enough so the current is within spec for the device.

Hello Nick,

Good day.

How to calculate the charging current for the lithium battery pack if the pack capacity is 6450 and nominal voltage is 14.4 and the charging voltage is 16.8?

Hello,

For charging we recommend checking the data sheet of the battery you are using to make sure you are not charging over the recommended charging current limit. We recommend that you charge using a rate of C/2. So the charging current for your battery would be 3225 mA.
