BQ27621-G1: battery selection

Cherry Zhou

Part Number: BQ27621-G1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ34Z100-G1, BQ35100

Hi team,

Here' an issue from the customer may need your help:

Using a 9-V battery, C2 and C3 are connected directly to VBAT, but VBAT is 0-6V tolerant.

If the customer would like to detect the remaining battery capacity of a 9-V battery, is it okay to use this one? If not, could you help recommend one?

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Cherry

    Hello Cherry,

    What is the chemistry of the 9V battery? It is most likely not a 1 cell battery, it probably has multiple cells inside the casing in series. The BQ34Z100-G1 is the impedance track top of stack gauge we support, this is for rechargeable batteries.

    For primary batteries the BQ35100 should be used, but I don't believe we have a chemistry ID for an alkaline 9V battery.

    Sincerely,

    Wyatt Keller
