The LTC®4071 is an easy-to-use, tiny shunt battery system
for Li-Ion/Polymer batteries, which integrates a charger and
battery pack protection in one IC. The LTC4071, with its 550nA
operating current, charges and protects batteries at up to
50mA from previously unusable very low current, intermittent or
continuous charging sources. A near zero current (<0.1nA) low
battery latching disconnect function protects even low capacity
batteries from deep discharge and potentially irreparable
damage. Housed in a low profile (0.75mm) 8-lead 2mm × 3mm
DFN package, the LTC4071 provides the only complete and
ultracompact battery charger and protection solution operating
with low level power sources such as energy scavenging/
harvesting, resistive isolation or solar-powered systems. It can
charge Li-Ion/Polymer, coin cell and thin film batteries.

Piezoelectric Energy Harvester with Battery Backup
Reference Design - Energy Harvesting
http://www.silabs.com/Support%20Documents/TechnicalDocs/AN588.pdf
The energy management circuitry used for harvesting energy consists of a solar cell, which provides DC energy, a rectifier that
can be used to convert AC vibration energy into DC energy, and the LTC4071 which takes in DC energy and regulates it to
a constant 4.1V. The LTC4071 protects the battery from overdischarge (by disconnecting it from the circuit if its voltage gets too
low) and provides a “ship mode” that disconnects the battery during shipping and ensures its energy is held until the end user
starts up the system.
