Re: [beagleboard] PMIC does not charge battery

I've been told that you need at least 2.5v on the battery for the PMIC to charge. However, we've rigged another charger to charge batteries that are low. It's lame, that this has to be done, but how it is I suppose. The reason why I think this is lame however is that it only takes around an hour to

I would think this is by design; a lithium battery below some minimum cell voltage is probably damaged and should not be charged. I don't know how the PMIC decides the charge profile, though, so I don't know what it might be doing. > On Nov 13, 2016, at 14:05 , William Hermans wrote: > > We'v

[beagleboard] PMIC does not charge battery

2016-11-13 Thread William Hermans
We've been observing that the PMIC does not charge a battery that is below a certain voltage threshold. So obviously, when a battery is at or around 0v it will not charge that battery. As well as when the battery is at around 1v the PMIC still will not charge. I was wondering if this is normal
