Ni-MH battery

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LT3652

Hello

My customer intends to design MPPT + battery charger using LT3652.

Battey is Li-ION(3.6V) and NiMH(4.5V).

Solar cell is 9.5V.

They are evaluating in their proto-type, but charging is ( not stop charging , flow 400mA ,though cell voltage is 99%  ) when battery is NiMH.

In case Li-ION, its Ok.

Would you please let us know followings?

Q1 why is the desctiption of " Ni-cell battery  charging " removed from data sheet?   

Q2  Could you please another products instead of LT3652 , which supports MPPT and also NiMH charging.

      1 chip or two chip ( MPPT + NiMH charging) should be ok

Please advise

Best Regards
