BQ27541 encountered a problem entering hibernate mode

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ27541-V200

Dear Sir

There are several issues regarding the hibernate mode of bq27541-V200.battery work instruction.pdf
Background: Our battery uses bq27541-V200. In order to cope with long-term storage, we will enter hibernate mode before leaving the factory. The SOP for entering is attached.
Question:
1. About 10% of the self consumption power sent to the customer terminal is too high, resulting in a decrease in voltage and SOC. What are the conditions that will cause bq to launch hibernate mode? Are they or are they related to?
2. The customer conducted communication testing on 30 sets of inventory (which have entered hibernate mode according to the SOP above), and found that 9 batteries have green hibernate bits. What are the conditions for the hibernate bits to change from red to green? Why did I not input the clear command and it changed from red to green?
3. Is there a non-destructive method to detect whether hibernate has actually entered this mode?

  • Hi Gabriel,

    Below is a diagram that represents the conditions needed to enter and exit HIBERNATE mode:

    Regarding the hibernation bits being changed from red to green, this occurs when the device leaves hibernation. This can be caused by the cell voltage being lower than the power-on reset voltage, communication activity, or the hibernate bit being changed by the host or device. Below shows that the device can change the bit without manually inputting the clear command.

    A way to detect if hibernate has been entered is if the cell voltage is below the hibernate threshold, or if the hibernate bit is red.

    Regards,
