How do you turn off the chip electrically ? I know that there is a shutdown mode for the chip. But how do I turn off the chip electrically ? The main intention is to reduce power consumption to the regulator, VC5x, and BAT pins in a switched off position. I am assuming the there would be a tiny leakage current through the chip if the cells are connected. But that is fine.
Would I have to add a switch on A,B and C wires shown in the picture ? If so, does the addition of long wires to the switches (1-10 ohm resistance ) on these leads result in inaccurate measurements ? I'm open and hoping for any other simpler options to turn off power.
