If the charger designs incorporate a thermistor, the resistor
divider RT1 and RT2 is calculated by using the following
two equations.
First, calculate RT2.

Values of resistors R1 and R2 can be calculated using the following equation:

where V

is the voltage at the APG/THM pin.
Current Regulation
The bq2400x provides current regulation while the battery-pack voltage is less than the regulation voltage. The current
regulation loop effectively amplifies the error between a reference signal, Vilim, and the drop across the external sense
resistor, R
