8.4.7 0V Charging Inhibit Function

This feature inhibits recharging a battery that has an internal short circuit of a 0V battery. If the battery voltage is below the charge inhibit voltage V0INH or lower, the charge FET control gate is fixed to the Pack– voltage to inhibit charging. When the battery is equal to V0INH or higher, charging can be performed. The 0V charge inhibit function is available in all configurations of the BQ297xx device.

CAUTION:

Some battery providers do not recommend charging a depleted (self-discharged) battery. Consult the battery supplier to determine whether to enable or inhibit the 0V battery charger function.
