Product Number: MAX17048
Hi, I am currently designing a wireless sensor node that will be powered by either a lithium thionyl chloride or lithium manganese dioxide battery.
I want to add a fuel gauge IC for charge monitoring. I am considering the MAX17048 because of its very low active (23 µA) and sleep (3 µA) current.
According to the datasheet, the MAX17048 is designed for Li-ion batteries.
My question is: Is it possible to use the MAX17048 with lithium thionyl chloride or lithium manganese dioxide batteries, given that their chemistry differs from Li-ion?
