BQ40Z50-R2: Failed learning cycle at second relax, VOK never clear on fv 5.03

Part Number: BQ40Z50-R2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: GPCCHEM

I have the same issue as the related ticket, this time on firmware version 5.03. After the second relax (after full charge) an OCV reading is never taken and a Qmax update never occurs. I have attached data memory used for the learning cycle as well as logs. The logs are in 3 parts corresponding with their names.

Charge, Relax.loginit Discharge, Relax.logFirmware5 learning mem wCalib.gg.csvsec Discharge, Relax.log

  • Hello Riley, 

    Can you please provide me with your GPCCHEM information (both the report and the raw data that was submitted). If the chemID you are using is not a good match, then the OCV could be disqualified and VOK will not set/clear as expected. 

    Regards, 

    Jonny. 

  • Hi Jonny,

    I no longer have access to the data used to generate the report as it wasn't conducted by me but I have attached the GPDCHEM report. If you believe this could be the issue I will attempt a new CHEMID process and reply with the results.

  • Hello Riley, 

    It looks like the ChemID you are using has a large DOD error. Ideally you will want to pick a ChemID with a DOD error less than 3%. I recommend going through the ChemID selection process again. The CPCCHEM tool can be found here
