Hi all,

I'm designing a product using the MCP73831 Battery Charger. I need to check
if the MCP73831 is working properly, but i can't wait it to make a complete
battery charge, because it takes about 5 hours.

Thus i've decided to connect a single resistor (4K) at the VBAT pin without
the battery and verify if the current at this pin have the expected value
(1mA).

My question is: Connecting a resistor at the VBAT pin can damage the
MCP73831?

Or maybe do you know another better and simple way to test this IC?

Thanks in advance.
