If you have a simpler way to charge LiPos that don’t require a specialized chip, send it into the tip line.

[Danko]’s minimal circuit is about as small as possible for the DIP version of the venerable 555 chip. The BOM is stripped to the bone: just the chip, three resistors, a capacitor, and an LED.
