3.7. Battery Charge and Management
SC200L module can recharge batteries. The battery charger in the SC200L module supports trickle
charging, constant current charging and constant voltage charging modes.
Trickle charging:
There are two steps in this mode. When the battery voltage is between 1.1V
and 2.05V, a 70mA trickle charging current is applied to the battery. When the battery voltage is
charged up and is between 2.05V and 3.05V, the charging current can be set to 450mA
maximally.
Constant current mode (CC mode):
When the battery is increased to between 3.05V and 4.18V,
the system will switch to CC mode. The charging current is 0.9A when an adapter is used for battery
charging, and the maximum charging current is 450mA for USB charging.
Constant voltage mode (CV mode):
When the battery voltage reaches the final value 4.18V, the
system will switch to CV mode and the charging current will decrease gradually. When the battery
level reaches 100%, the charging is completed.
Table 7: Description of charging interface
SC200L module supports battery temperature detection in the condition that the battery integrates a
thermistor (47K
Ω
1% NTC thermistor with a B-constant of 3380K
Ω
by default; the thermistor is connected
to VBAT_THERM pin. If the VBAT_THERM pin is not connected, there will be malfunctions such as
battery charging failure, battery level display error, etc.
