2-cell Li-ion charger — 1.2 A constant-current, 8.4 V pack target
The Texas Instruments BQ24006PWP is a linear battery charger designed specifically for 2-series (2-cell) lithium-ion packs, delivering a constant charge current up to 1.2 A and targeting a full-charge pack voltage of 8.4 V. Charge current and safety timer are programmable via external resistors — no digital interface required, which keeps the BOM simple for portable equipment, handheld instruments, and backup-battery applications. The device includes over-temperature fault protection and operates over a -40°C to 70°C ambient range, suiting it for industrial enclosures and outdoor portable gear that sees temperature swings.
