PRODUCTION DATA
The device charges the battery in five phases: battery short, preconditioning, constant current, constant voltage, and top-off trickle charging (optional). At the beginning of a charging cycle, the device checks the battery voltage and regulates current and voltage accordingly.
Resistance between charger output and battery cell terminal such as board routing, connector, MOSFETs, and sense resistor can force the charging process to move from constant current to constant voltage too early and increase charge time. To speed up the charging cycle, the device provides the BATSNS pin to extend the constant current charge time to deliver maximum power to battery. The BATSNS pin is connected directly to the battery cell terminal to remotely sense battery cell voltage. BATSNS is by default enabled and can be disabled through the BATSNS_DIS bit. If BATSNS is connected to GND or left floating, the charger regulates the BAT pin instead.
