  The MAX17043 is ultra-compact, low-cost,host-side fuel-gauge systems for lithium-ion (Li+) batter-ies in handheld and portable equipment.It employs Gravity I2C interface,ultra-low opearting current, and real-time tracking of the relative state of charge (SOC) of the battery through Maxim's patented algorithm,eliminating the need for full-to-empty relearning and offset accumualtion errors. Plug and play to accurately measure the voltage and remaining power of the battery. The module also features as a low battery power alert interrupt function. When the battery power falls below specified threshold, the ALR pin generates a falling pluse to trigger the external interrupt of the controller.One thing should mention that the default value of the battery low power interrupt alert threshold is 32%, this threshold can be set by the function setInterrupt().

Provides an Arduino library for reading and interperting MAX17043 data over I2C.

Wires of the same color are linked together,and We only exemplify how these the boards are connected to the Fuel Gauge. When connecting , it is necessary to pay attention to the correspondence among pins, the connection diagram is as fellows.
