I just want to charge cells with 1.2 ampere and be able to charge again when adapter is removed and plugged again. I just set my desired current to 0x02 and 0x03 and charger starts to charge but after less than a second charger stops charging. Here are my questions: 1) i was not able to do previously described procedure with 5v USB power bank and i did it with power supply. Why is that ? As i understood charger had to set all offsets and initializes with respect to input voltage without help of host. So why it didn’t charge cells with 5v? 2) did i something wrong to charge with 1.2A ? And why charger stops charging fast", "partNumber" : " BQ25713", "allResponseList" : [ { "contentId" : "3293324", "userName" : "reza nouriyan", "rankPoints" : "100", "rankName" : "Prodigy", "date" : "Mar 21, 2020 9:26 PM", "userId" : "5241641", "content" : "When i put charge current at almost 100mA it works but for greater currents charger stops charging in less than a second" }, { "contentId" : "3293350", "userName" : "reza nouriyan", "rankPoints" : "100", "rankName" : "Prodigy", "date" : "Mar 22, 2020 2:47 AM", "userId" : "5241641", "content" : "Please take into account that i didn’t change any register after POR and just updated charge current register.

Is there a way to disable DPM mode that decrease charge current to give priority to system load. Because i think problem is related to this issue. But on the other hand i am testing IC at no load so there is no load to draw current from VSYS. I am completely confused Please help" }, { "contentId" : "3294086", "userName" : "Joel Hernandez II", "rankPoints" : "25800", "rankName" : "Mastermind", "date" : "Mar 23, 2020 2:05 PM", "userId" : "4615895", "content" : "Hey Reza, We need a register dump the moment before and the moment after the charger stops charging.

Check the watchdog timer in ChargeOption0 register (I2C address = 01/00h) - WDTMR_ADJ. The default setting stops charging after 175s without repeatedly sending the charge current. You can disable the watchdog by setting 00 for bits 6-5 - then the charging will not stop when you don't send the current register.
