BQ25731: Battery charge controller IC

Part Number: BQ25731

Tool/software:

We are using BQ25731RSNR battery charge control IC from TI to charge 12V, 7A Lead acid battery. We need support on the following:
  1. Does BQ25731RSNR support the Lead acid battery. Please find the below image for your reference.
  2. If the above battery is compatible with the IC, then please give us the register values. Please check the register values in the excel file attached.
  3. As of now, we are not able to charge the above specified battery properly and not knowing the battery connection status.

  • Hi, Sai,

    BQ25731 is a multi-chemistry battery charger. You can simply set max charge voltage and charge current, then enable charging. It will charge the lead acid battery to the max charge voltage, and automatically transitions to the constant voltage charging.

    You might need to terminate the charging operation when your target voltage is reached, by sending a command from a host or a MCU.

    BQ25731 is a digital part, which relies on the host for communication.

    You can start with default register values and make minimal changes. See below.
