Topic summary

The MCP73831 is a single-cell lithium-ion battery charger IC with a maximum input voltage tolerance of 6V and a maximum charging output of 4.5V, making it unsuitable for charging a 10.8V Li-ion battery pack. A 10.8V pack typically corresponds to a three-cell series configuration (3 x 3.7V nominal cells), but the discussed battery is a 6-cell laptop pack, likely arranged as two sets of three cells in series connected in parallel or three sets of two parallel cells in series. Such configurations require a multi-cell charger IC or a more complex charging solution beyond the MCP73831. For selecting an appropriate charger IC, searching for active PMIC battery chargers supporting lithium-ion chemistry and the correct number of cells on distributor websites like Digi-Key is recommended.
