Multi-chemistry charger with I²C control — what it does
The BQ24721RHBT: It handles a maximum battery pack voltage of 19.2V and accepts a supply rail up to 24V, with overcurrent fault protection built in.
Obsolete — plan the BOM transition
The BQ24721RHBT carries an obsolete lifecycle status — TI no longer manufactures this part in production volumes. For new designs or long-run production, evaluate a current-generation SMBus/I²C charger from the BQ247xx family with a similar cell-count and voltage rating.
