Why does a charge regulator need a microcontroler? Battery charging can easily be done with analog. I can imagine it being a data logger for battery life analysis but what would it do for the charge regulator? Also, I like all oscillating electrical stuff to turn off when I sleep...

I saw these TI charge controller chips recently, depending on the type of battery being charged i think one of these specialty chips might be something to look into. http://www.ti.com/product/BQ24450/support --Dorkmo (talk) 03:13, 23 April 2018 (CEST)
