BQ34Z100: Custom battery profile

Part Number: BQ34Z100
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: GPCCHEM, BQ27426

Hello,

My team is using a BQ34Z100 with a lithium polymer battery in our device, and have used the GPCCHEM tool to find an okay ChemID. Is it possible to submit a battery for testing to get an exact match for a profile?

Regards,

Kyle

  • Hello Kyle,

    Did the tool report a match? Can you upload the results of GPCCHEM tool?

  • Hi Shirish,

    It reported a best chemical ID but that the deviation was above recommended levels. Please see below:

    Chemistry ID selection tool, rev=2.52        
            
    Configuration used in present fit:        
    ProcessingType = 2        
    NumCellSeries = 3        
    ElapsedTimeColumn = 0        
    VoltageColumn = 5        
    CurrentColumn = 6        
    TemperatureColumn = 7        
            
    Best chemical ID : 225    Best chemical ID max. deviation, % : 3.56

    Best generic ID 354        
    Warning: Generic ID Deviation is so high that it is most likely due to anomaly in the data. Please check that data files have recomended format, units and test schedule        
            
            
    Device / Family #2        
    Generic Chem ID    Device/ Voltage/ Chemistry    max DOD error, %

    Best generic ID 1210        
    Warning: Deviation for best generic ID is above recommended level for this device / family. Consider using another device, flash based gauge or RAM programming of custom ID.

  • Hello Kyle,

    The logs must be collected with a bare cell - no protector or external components. Can you verify that?

  • Please let me know if you are in touch with a TI FAE or sales person

  • I sent you a friend request so that you can share information with me directly.
