Hi,
There seem to be an enormous amount of Battery Management Products out there and I'm having trouble choosing one to go for!
In a nutshell, we are developing a remote data logger which uses a small LiPo battery for power, along with a larger Li-SOCI2 (2 in series gives 4.2v-7.2v) and/or solar panel battery for recharging.
Our cellular based system uses 5v, is usually in deep sleep mode (<1mA), and wakes up every so often at around 80mA, but can have 500mA surges when transmitting data.
We'd like the LiPo to be the primary source of power, and have the Li-SOCI2 or solar panel as interchangeable/combinable methods of recharging the LiPo battery.
Can you advise which product you would go for please? Don't mind which brand; TI, Microchip, Analog Devices, ST etc.
Many thanks for any advice and experience you can share!
