I made a simplified, interactive demo version of the my single op-amp battery charge control circuit on Falstad:

The outputs can be used to control a charging circuit, looking at it like a truth table:

ABSystem StatusExample Input Voltage Range
TTCharging 2.7V to 3.6V
TFUnder Voltage0 to 2.7V 
FTOvervoltageTriggers when Input > 3.6V, resets when Input drops below 3.4V
FFN/AN/A
