MAX17332 with non-rechargeable 3V battery

Category: Hardware
Product Number: MAX17332

Hi!

We have a new project with non-rechargeable 3V battery (2.5V-3.0V).

We already have working drivers for MAX17332 that is why I want to use it for:

1.Current sense

2.Voltage sense

3.Temp sense

3.OVC protection

Main thing it is non-rechargeable, what is easiest way to disable charge?

Maybe I will not use discharge and charge function to save consumption (so MAX17332 will be usually in deepship for rare updates on battery state), may I just bypass FETs with 0R?

Maybe AD has better solution for such batteries, I prefer lower active current (device should live from CR2032 battery for half year, so consumption is critical)
