Hello Listmembers,

I hope I am at the right forum, I am a total newb to the battery scene, so please firgive my lack of understanding.

I need a very small coin-cell type, rechargable battery to power a small MCU. I identified ML2032 (from Maxell). This is a Lithium Manganese Dioxide Rechargeable Batteries, with 3V and 65mAh. Its other spec are:-
Nominal Voltage (V): 3
Nominal Capacity (mAh): 65
Nominal Discharge Current (uA): 200
Charge/Discharge Cycle Lifetime
Depth of Discharge=10% : 1,000 (6.5 mAh discharge) (total capacity 6,500 mAh)
Depth of Discharge=20%: 300 (13 mAh discharge) (total capacity 3,900 mAh)

Datasheet for this batt is at:-
http://www.maxell.co.jp/e/products/industrial/battery/pdf/ML2032_DataSheet.pdf


I would like to find a suitable charger chip for this, and I have the following query:-
1.) Do I treat this as a Li-Ion cell eventhough its chemistry is somewhat different?
2.) What is a suitable chip to charge this, wound any of Microchips ICs do the job?

Thanks for your help
Cheers
Jay
