Quick Q about ATMega's?

Is this the logic you're aiming for?

ATmega Battery-chip MOSFET
Hi X Off
Lo Hi On
Lo Lo Off
Off Hi On
Off Lo Off

In this case the simplest thing to do would be to program the ATmega so that the "Lo" output is high-impedance (do this by setting the pin as an input and setting the state as LOW). Then connect the battery-chip's output to the ATmega's output via a resistor, and connect the ATmega's output to the MOSFET gate.
