I could read battery at address 0x36

lenovo 01AV420

chip was not detected, but I inspected it and it is a  045A20

marking on chip is: 045A20 1652 LC014

I could unseal it

But when I try to read EEPROM to back up it, it seems to brick the chip.

now I read it in default address but with wrong data:

after a while I tried again and chip was again readable on address 0x36

I also read it with EV2300 device at address 0x36, it recognizes chip as

045A20 LGC-LNV V041133F4

I tried with other similar battery 01AV420 that I have, which is unlocked, and the same happens, when I try to read EEPROM it hangs.

I have found similar bug in the forum with other Lenovo battery like 01av489:

I will try that solution and inform you.

So this battery 01AV420 behaves same as 01AV489 with address toggling.

I could read EEPROM this way but could not clear errors. However I could write other dump of an unlocked battery and I will try to edit FCC in dump, so I am marking this post as solved.

 Address toggle on Renesas chips is not yet supported, thats why described issue occurs. 

 Feel free to add Feature Request.
