Based on MCP73831. Beware not tested (yet).
There are two charge modes:
- fast (45mA)
- slow (25mA)
Max charge current for a coin cell is usually between 80% and two third of it’s capacity. So you could charge a 100mA coin cell with 80mA. I wanted to increase the lifetime of my coin cells and reduced the charge current. If you want to have different currents here is the equation to calculate R_SLOW/R_FAST:
mA = 1000 / R in kΩ
Example: 1000/20kΩ = 50mA
