RE: Then you're not TRICKLE charging anything, are you?

What was wrong in my statement "- there is absolutely no problem & nothing wrong with trickle charging a LiFePO4 battery - all LiFePO4 battery chargers are just trickle charging in their final stage of charging i.e they are behaving as a regulated voltage source except they are outputting 3.6V."

OK, I thought you understood what my configuration was - I've stated it so often now: permanently connect a 3.3V regulated PS to a 3.3V LiFePO4 battery & use it to power the Regen USB hub chip & USB clock (both of which are 3.3V devices)

I used the term "trickle" charging to explain how the battery is maintained at a constant 3.3V.

I really don't understand your use of automatic & trickle - a PS cannot put any more current into a battery that is at the same voltage as the PS?

All the advice to Lance to use a battery charger to "trickle" charge the battery is WRONG as it will have a 3.65V regulated voltage output which will be detrimental to, if not kill the USB hub chip &/or USB clock.

Please don't advise him to do so - it will probably damage his Regen.
