Hi,
Let me ask you about BQ25601 behavior with respect to deep discharge battery.
Battery voltage of the deep discharge battery is 1.5V~1.7V.
The battery in this state is charged / discharged prohibited by the protection IC.
How does BQ25601 work when a battery with the above conditions is connected?
After checking the operation of the actual application, it will try to start charging every time it is connected.
Could you explain the details of the assumed operation when a deeply discharged battery is connected?
After explaining the details to the customer, I would like to introduce an additional battery protection or detection IC.
BQ25601 applies a charging current for a moment to check the battery status, and repeats the operation of stopping the charging.
Is this understanding correct?
And If this behavior is correct, is there a way to know this situation with an external MCU?
Regards,
Yusuke
Yusuke,
The charger does not have battery detection. When the BAT pin is open, the charger will still try to regulate the VSYS/VBAT as described in the FAQ provided earlier.
Hope this thread is helpful to your question. Please check the protection IC specs for how to re-connect the battery to the charger.
