Hi all,

I'm using an MCP73833-AMI for charging a 1-cell Lipo in a project. This=20
specific charger is looking for a charge voltage of 4.2V, but the=20
voltage never gets to over about 4.09V to 4.13V (tested over several=20
batteries).
I'm not really worried about that last bit of charge, but the charge=20
status LED never goes out to indicate it's done.
FWIW, some of the batteries I'm using came with chargers whose=20
indicators go out after they're fully charged, but it's still around 4.1V.

Is this common, or just that I'm picking the wrong batteries?  I did see=20
a couple 4.1V charger ICs options available, but most are 4.2V.

Anyone have a goto charger IC you'd recommend for this?  I need small=20
size and low cost, and 1A should be fine.

Cheers,
-Neil.
