BQ24166: Minimum Battery Voltage

Part Number: BQ24166

Hi, 

Our customer is using the BQ24166 and they want to know if there is a minimum battery voltage at which the BQ24166RGER will not initiate charging at?  For example, will the chip still begin charging if the battery voltage is under 2V? And is that a settable value? 

I hope you could help us on this matter. Thank you. 


Regards,

Cedrick

  • Hi Cedrick,

    As shown on datasheet page 14 figure 20, the charger auto lowers the charge current to IBATSHORT = 50mA when the battery voltage is below VBATSHORT = 3.0V typical.  The VBATSHORT value is fixed.

    Regards,
