Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQ27426
Hello,
I'm trying to create a bqStudio project for the bq27426-EVM. I am charging a stand-alone Samsung 50E, Lithium 21700 battery, using the BQ24172EVM. The datasheet for the battery can be found at:
https://www.imrbatteries.com/content/samsung_50E.pdf
The battery datasheet does not specify a "taper current". It states a 98mA cutoff current when charging under the "Standard Discharge Capacity" spec. Also, under the life-cycle spec, it states life-cycle numbers with a 245mA cutoff current. Are either of these "cutoff current" values the same as the "taper current". I just want to make sure I'm getting the most out of the bq27426 without damaging the battery.
Thanks,
Matt
