hi
i have bought a xiaomi battery bank 10400 mah but it is fake. one of its cell is filled with sand.
others are of poor quality hardly 300-500mah each.
i looked at circuit board. there is an ic from tpower tp4221B . this is smart ic for liion battery charging.
i checked the cells voltage when it fully charged them .cells were charged to 4.2 volts then it stopped . charging current was 500 mah . input charger and its cable is fully capable of 2 ampere current (and tested as well ). so it means its charging at this little rate.
now i have soem good liion batteries but they are to be charged at 4.35 volts not at 4.2..
i looked at the ic specs it supports 1.3 Amp of charging current , 1 amp discharge, and supports both 4.2 and 4.35 volts chemistry liions.
it has been a lot of time since i did electronics. please help me in finding achieve above two purposes.
The datasheet for the battery cell is written in Chinese. I do not know why they correctly say 4.2V but wrongly say 4.35V.
A cell that is not charged to 4.2V has reduced capacity. Maybe these cells reach their "rated" capacity only when they are dangerously over-charged.
Hee, hee, haw, haw, ho, ho! Typical cheap Chinese garbage.

no certain cells are rated for 4.3 volts. my nexus 5 charges to 4.318 volts then stops .. verified by multimeter as well as a software from play store ampere ..
Try some things
Check for connection between:
VDD and SW - if have - put resistor divider at the BAT pin - it is input only, to simulate 4.2V from actual 4,3V; got me?
VDD and BAT - if connection here, it is bad

sorry i couldnt get you..
the battery that i want to use wiht this is samsung icr18650-30a SDI (3000mah .. fully charged voltage 4.35 . fully discharged voltage 2.7 .. howver i am ok with this circuit discharging till 3 volts as its boost circuit output is not within usb limits at that volatge)
i cannot decipher chinese datasheets of this product.. and couldnt find better then the two quoted in original post.
