Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ78PL114 , BQWIZARD We have recently made a small run of 13 8Ah battery packs using the bq78pl114 gas gauge IC. We have made over 100 of these in the past, and there have been no changes to the design or software configuration…
We use the bq78PL114S12 for a few years now.
During last production, we noticed something strange with the LEDs. The first time we check the SOC status, only one led turns on. When we push the button a second time, all leds turns on (which is correct…
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQWIZARD , BQ78PL114 if performing firmware-update with bqWizard from bq78pl114 to ...114s12, the voltage calibration has to be explicitly preserved ("... click the Preserve Calibration check box"...).

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ78PL114 , BQ78PL116 We designed 2 years ago a LiFePO4 battery pack (10Ah/3.2V/12 cell). We did several third party tests (CE, FCC, UL, UN tests) on it and got the correct approvals.
However, under some occasions we noticed…
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ78PL114 Hello,
We designed a 10Ah LiFePO4 battery pack long time ago with the bq78PL114. Sometimes we have large jumps in the RSOC measurement of the battery. Here is a good example of a discharge test with a high RSOC…
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ78PL114 , BQ78PL116 We designed a lithium batterypack with the bq78PL114 some time ago. On your website is indicated that the bq78PL114 is not recomended for new design.
Few questions:
1. How long will the bq78PL114 in…
We use this controller for a 10Ah lithium battery pack. The SOC algorithm works fine within a normal temperature range.
When we use the battery pack at low temperatures, the voltage drops much faster. In case there is a heavy load for a few seconds and…
