LC709203F & battery charging

[david85]

Hi everyone!

I have a Adafruit LC709203F, which is brilliant! but i'm wondering if I can charge my battery with this device attached to it? The fuel gauge is designed to read a 3.7v battery and a charging board will likely push this voltage beyond this to charge up the battery.

Is it going to damage my LC709203F if I try to charge my battery with it reading the voltage? Do anyone know the absolute maximum voltage it can withstand?

Cheers

David

its totally ok! 3.7V is the nominal voltage, you can go up to 6V (but your battery will max at 4.2ish)
