Can I use the DS278X with Li+Polymer LiFePo4 batteries?

Yes. The DS2780/8 can measure voltage, temperature, and current, and can estimate available capacity for both rechargeable lithium-ion (Li+) and Li+ polymer LiFePO4 batteries.

The MAX17201/MAX17205/MAX17211/MAX17215 and MAX17055 are newer devices that have and improved algorithm for LiFePO4 and would be preferred to the DS278X family.
