hi!
I am working in a project that feeds from a 18650 lithium battery. Iam charging it with a MPC73831 linear charger.
but I have a lot of doubts around this because the system needs to keep the battery with a solar panel (6W), but i have read a lot of people saying that this charger wont do the job.
My doubt is if this incapability is for the variations in the voltage of the solar panel, or because the current is it self function of the light conditions.
In the first case, would be enougth to put a step up like the CE8301 after the solar panel in order to keep a constant voltage?
thanks in advance, really appreciate it.
