As you can see, the charging process is not a trivial task to be done; moreover all these operations
should start only if battery temperature is inside a charging range, usually 5°C - 45°C.
The GM862-GPS measures the temperature of its internal component, in order to satisfy this last
requirement, it's not exactly the same as the battery temperature but in common application the two
temperature should not differ too much and the charging temperature range should be guaranteed.
An example of battery charger can be:
NOTE: In this particular application the battery charger input current must be limited to less than 1A. This can be
done by using a current limited wall adapter as the power source.
For your convenience in the EVK there's also a current unlimited input, where the input source is not limited in
current and the drawn current is limited to about 0,5A by a MOSFET in the EVK.
