I am considering using the UC2906 Sealed Lead-acid charger IC for a charger. I would like to here pros and cons about your expericence with this IC/and or chargers built with this integrated I.C. The UC3906 is the same except for the temperature range.(u2906 is -40C to +70C while the UC3906 is OC to +70C)

A little more information. I am working on a system of LED night lights for in the yard. I live in southern Utah where the daytime temperature can reach close to 120°F in the summer and in the winter go below freezing.

This IC tracks the temperature and adjusts the charge voltage the changes. I will be using small solar panels to supply the power. The solar panel I have chosen will produce 283mA at 17.1 volts in full sun light.

Your comments please.
Ned
