Hi there,

I built a circuit to charge 8 NiMH batteries (Sony CyberEnergy 2500mAh). But for some reason, it doesn't starts to charge the batteries.
I already checked all the pins voltages but i didn't found anything wrong.
Can someone check my circuit and check if I did something wrong ??
here is the datasheet: https://datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/MAX712-MAX713.pdf

Here are the specs:
Power Supply: 19V
Batteries: 8NiMH batteries
Charging Current: 330mA
Here is the circuit:

 

According to Table 2 of the datasheet, for 8 cells PGM1 should be at BAT- potential, not REF (which would be for 7 , 11 or 15 cells).

 

You're right, I already changed this connection

 

What are the voltages on TEMP and THI?
