3.2.7 Chg Current Threshold

This register is used as a threshold by many functions in the BQ34Z100-G1 to determine if actual charge current is flowing into or out of the cell. The default for this register should be sufficient for most applications. This threshold should be set low enough to be below any normal charge current but high enough to prevent noise or drift from affecting the measurement.
