BQ24210: Safety time out @ Pre-charge

Part Number: BQ24210

Hi All,

When pre-charge mode.(Battery voltage = 2.3V).

Set ICHG = 0.78A. Burn-in 1940 sec. It will disable charge.

Set ICHG = 0.07A. Burn-in 1940 sec. It haven't disable.

Why??

Thanks.

  • Hello Pao,
    The 1940s safety timer is for precharge not charging. This is the timer for when pre charge ends and fast charge begins. Since precharge is set to 20% of the fast charge current, having a lower charge current will cause longer time for precharge and fast charge.
