I'm designing the supply adapter for our bq27531/bq24192 circuit and I'm a bit puzzled by the high current peaks at the beginning of the MLC charge cycles.
As recorded by GaugeStudio, the current is about 1.5C for a minute or so, then jumps between stages for ten minutes before settling down. See attached.
Is this proper MLC behavior? I'll need to design my front end adapter accordingly (i.e. beefier) if so.

BTW - the end product is a rechargeable external battery pack for a popular "extreme" video camera :-)
