Multi-chemistry charger in active production
The MAX8724ETI from Analog Devices is a multi-chemistry battery charger IC, meaning it handles charge profiles for Li-ion, NiMH, or NiCd cells depending on the external configuration — a single BOM line covers different battery chemistries without a board spin. Marked as Active in production, this part is still being manufactured and available for new designs and ongoing production builds.
RoHS compliance flag for BOM review
The MAX8724ETI is RoHS non-compliant — the solder terminations contain lead above the exemption threshold. Supplied in Bulk packaging, which means loose tubes or trays rather than tape-and-reel — plan for manual or tube-fed pick-and-place, not reel-based feeders.
