Hello, a few colleagues and I are working on a project that includes a battery charging circuit using an MCP73831T charging IC. Everything is fine until I connect the battery to the circuit, in which it just begins to smoke. What I do not understand is that the circuit is wired the same way that it is in the datasheet. I will post the circuit diagram and datasheet below. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it would do this. Do any of you have any ideas?
