Using bq2084 and bq29312 to control NiMH Batteries

Does anybody have any experience in using the bq2084 and bq29312 devices for control of NiMH battery packs? Can this be done in a meaningful fashion?

Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

    Hi Omer,

    Looks like nobody has responded. Here at TI we think that NiMH should not be used with bq2084 because it is "tuned" for Li-Ion chemistry and doesn't have provisions for nickel charge termination. We have not offered a fuel gauge for Nickel chemistry since bq2060A. That would be your best choice from TI.

    Regards,
