DESCRIPTION
The DS2436 Battery Identification/Monitor Chip provides a convenient method of tagging and
identifying battery packs, by manufacturer, chemistry, or other identifying parameters. The DS2436
allows the battery pack to be coded with a unique 64-Bit ROM ID and a 16-Bit Manufacturer ID, and also
store information regarding the battery life and charge/ discharge characteristics in its nonvolatile
memory.
