LiPo Battery Fuel Gauge MAX17043

Product detailed description

LiPo batteries are a great way to power your projects. They're small, lightweight and pretty good for their size. Unfortunately, even the best batteries eventually run out of power, and when they do, it's often unexpected (and at the worst possible time). Don't get caught out next time your board suddenly shuts down!

LiPo Fuel Gauge connects your battery to your project, using a sophisticated algorithm to detect relative state of charge and direct A/D measurement of battery voltage. In other words, it tells the microcontroller how much "fuel" is left in the tank. The LiPo Fuel Gauge communicates with your project via I2C and the ALT pin also tells you when the charge drops below a certain percentage.
