This device supports charge control features, such as:
- Reports charging voltage and charging current based on the active temperature range—JEITA temperature ranges T1, T2, T3, T4, T5, and T6
- Provides more complex charging profiles, including sub-ranges within a standard temperature range
- Reports the appropriate charging current required for constant current charging and the appropriate charging voltage needed for constant voltage charging to a smart charger, using the bus communication interface
- Selects the chemical state-of-charge of each battery cell using the Impedance Track method, and reduces the voltage difference between cells when cell balancing multiple cells in a series
- Provides pre-charging/zero-volt charging
- Employs charge inhibit and charge suspend if battery pack temperature is out of programmed range
- Reports charging faults and indicates charge status via charge and discharge alarms
