8.4.8 Charge Timeout

The BQ24725A includes a watchdog timer to terminate charging if the charger does not receive a write ChargeVoltage() or write ChargeCurrent() command within 175s (adjustable via ChargeOption() command). If a watchdog timeout occurs all register values keep unchanged but charge is suspended. Write ChargeVoltage() or write ChargeCurrent() commands must be re-sent to reset watchdog timer and resume charging. The watchdog timer can be disabled, or set to 44s, 88s or 175s via SMBus command (ChargeOption() bit[14:13]). After watchdog timeout write ChargeOption() bit[14:13] to disable watchdog timer also resume charging.
