the charge cycles appears to work correctly (the charge cycle discontinues charging once battery reaches 4.16v), but my LED does not work unless I short it to ground..  I am using 1.5ke  as recommended in the documentation. and tried others.  same no LED  i.imgur.com/d5vxbt2.jpg    diagram copied from 

FYI, when Lithium battery is at 3.7v, the Vout will read 4.7v during charge cycle and CHG will read 2.7v stable
