Unfortunately no. Neither the MAX17260 nor any of our ModelGauge fuel gauges can be used to measure the capacity of NiMH batteries. Our ModelGauge algorithms were specifically designed for Li-Ion batteries. The charge/discharge characteristics of NiHM batteries are actually much different than Li-Ion batteries, so our ModelGauge algorithms will not work NiMH batteries.
We do have some fuel gauges that can be used with NiMH. The part numbers for these products are the DS2786, DS2746, DS2746, DS2745, DS2740, or DS2438.
