Replace the 103HT NTC thermistor with a ERTJ1VG103FA as found in TI's TIDA-01182 eval board which has a charge controller IC from the same family and uses an 18650 battery, change is due to it being smaller, cheaper, and has the same B value as the recommended thermistor in the charge controller IC's datasheet, comparing the thermistors' tables shows that they are nearly identical and that it should be a drop-in replacement
