Battery babysitter + 6000mAh
Posted: Mon Oct 09, 2017 1:50 pm
Hi!
I'm building a project which needs to be battery powered for quite some time without recharging. I also want a battery monitor that will tell me the status of the battery.
I found these two parts:
* Battery babysitter (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13777)
* LiIo Battery 6Ah (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13856)
I could not find any answer if these two components would work together since the Battery is 3-cell and the babysitter states "charging cingle-cells". I've read some article about balanced loading would make it OK to charge them - so I'm not sure what the answer is.
Q1. Can these two parts be used together? (Both charging and monitoring)
Q2. If not, are there alternatives that suit my requirements?
Thanks!
