BQ40Z80: full charging bit is set when in the learning cycle

Part Number: BQ40Z80
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO

Hello Team ,

i just started my learning cycle connecting the battery setup  , my battery cell are Lion cells (3 cells) part number US18650VTC5A so the chemid is 0x2161 

.programmed the chemid  started the learning cycle. i didnt set the parameter  from my side , bcoz already i flashed the chemid.

i charged my battery in 12.6 v and C/2 ratio current (2600/2 = 1.3 A) , battery get charged 12.6 but my BQ shows 12.6 instead 11.5 volt.

my FC bit is also not set , so what voltage i need to set in power supply to get my battery fully charged. Could you please help me.

Regards

Sachu

    Hello Sachu,

    I'm not sure I understand your question. It sounds like you charged to 12.6V and the gauge is reading 12.6V which should be correct. Why would it show 11.5V?

    Just because the chem ID is uploaded does not mean you don't need to set the other parameters outlined in the learning cycle guide, like Dsg Current Threshold, Chg Current Threshold, Quit Current, etc.

    Also for any learning cycle questions you should always share the .gg file from before and after and the BQStudio log of the test being performed.

    Sincerely,

    Hello Mohan,

    This looks like an issue with your charger, the current profile is extremely noisy and erratic. Also it looks like the charger starts the taper too early if you are trying to charge with 12.6V. It could also be a bad connection since it looks like there is a difference between the PACK voltage and BAT voltage.

    Hello wyatt ,

    what was the expectation  in charging both BAT pin volatge and Pack pin voltage ? whether at the time of charging  both will be equal or not?

    let me know whether we can proceed with EVK or not

    Hello Mohan,

    I mean a bad connection on in the terminal connections on the EVM, not the EVM issue itself.
