BQ40Z50-R2: The SOC deviation is too large to calculate LFP

Part Number: BQ40Z50-R2


HI:

         

I used BQ40Z50-R2 this chip with a 4-string lithium iron phosphate battery, and found that the SOC offset was large , up to 27% in the worst case.

Here are some things I do:

1: Use the charging and discharging data of the  LFP  match the chemical ID. The feedback is as follows.

2: The chip firmware is configured. The firmware parameters are as follows。

3: Three cycles of full charge discharge were tested. Finally, it was found that when RSOC=0%, the battery could continue to discharge and release 27% of the battery capacity.

4: The LFP data is as follows:

Ask for help:

1. How to optimize the configuration to improve the accuracy of SOC calculation?

2: Whether more chemical id need to be verified.

3: Is there any other method to optimize the coulometer to calculate LFP SOC?

Looking forward to your reply,thanks!

  • Hi Arvin,

    This sounds like a Chem ID issue. As a general rule you'll want the best match to have <3% deviation, so the current 8% is quite high. Be sure to follow SLVA725A and resubmit to the tool. If you're still not getting a good match, you may want to send the cells in for characterization.
