Hi Team –
Posting this on customer’s behalf.
Planning to use a bq24072T to charge a single Li-Ion cell, along with a bq27426 fuel gauge for monitoring. Both devices have a thermistor input for one located in the battery pack.
Is there a way to avoid putting a separate thermistor in the battery pack for each device?
The thermistor current is sourced internally from the fuel gauge and externally for the charger, so simply using a single thermistor with both inputs connected to it doesn’t appear to work.
Alternately, do you have any recommendations for a fuel gauge that doesn’t require a thermistor?
Thank you,
