#183689 - School project
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Since it is a school project, it doesn't feel good to just have a number of dedicated chips.

It would be better to have a generic chip that uses I2C, SPI or similar (or maybe two analog voltages) to control voltage out and current out. And then use software to measure the current/voltage/temp and adjust the profile.

For a commercial project, you would seldom do a tripple-technology design with three dedicated chips. You would either find someon who have a single-chip solution or use software algorithms with voltage/current control.

In the end, it is actually quite useful to have a basic understanding about how different battery technologies behaves.
