BQ24630: Size restrained: How to disable Input Adapter Current Regulation

Part Number: BQ24630


I do not need the feature Input Adapter Current Regulation.

I have an 12V DC adapter which can deliver the power for charging and I do not have a live load.

How can I disable this feature and get rid of the extra components normally needed for this?

Next question:

Which components could I also get rid of to get the system running as size constrained as possible?

(The 2 AC fets?, what are the restrictions for these, do I need them, can they be smaller size? (charging 1 cell lifepo4 @ 4A, 12V input)

The battery has a capacity of 60Ah, so charging well below all safety. No issues with heat. I even have to disable the safety timer ;-)
