Will the BQ24079T work with Li-Polymer batteries?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24079T

Hello,

Is there something in the BQ24079T that would prevent it from working with Li-Po batteries?  It is designed for Li-Ion, but most of the other BQ devices specifically mention both Li-Ion and Li-Polymer, but not the datasheet for BQ24079T.  My guess is that it will work fine, but I wanted to get confirmation.

Thanks,

JC

  • Yes it should, LiIon and LiPoly use the same charging profile.

    This part charges up to 1.5Amps and will regulate the battery voltage to 4.1V Vout reg.
    4.1-4.2V is typical for LiIon and LiPoly.

    To be sure compare the battery specs to the Vout reg and charging current.
