I am considering using the MAX17262R for an upcoming project and have some questions about the battery capacity and current handling...
• On page 15, the maximum value represented by the capacity register is 16383.5mAh. Elsewhere in the document it is stated that "the IC provides best performance for batteries with 30mAhr to 6Ahr capacity". I am intending on using this fuel gauge with a 1S3P 3.7 battery which range from 6600mAh to 9000mAh. Is there any description or graph explaining how performance degrades for capacities beyond the 6000mAh 'best performance'?
• Since this battery fuel gauge is in the power path, I'd like to know the limits of how much current it can handle. My battery charger supports 3.5A charging, but I am concerned that one BGA pin would not handle this well. Is there any specification for current handling of this IC?
Thank you.
