Without Battery Gas Gauge showing 100% SOC

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ27500

Hi,

 

I am using gas gauge bq27500 - Version 130 in my system. Without battery i connected the charger to my system. BqEasy shows that Battery's SOC is 100%. As per datasheet SOC = Remaining Capacity/Full charge Capacity * 100 . Here both Remaining Capacity and Full charge capacity is zero. I need SOC to be zero without battery.  Is there any way to rectify this error ? Is my golden file creating this error or something else ? Please help me to get rid off this problem.

 

Thanks in Advance,

Kasthuri Rangan.V

    This is standard behavior for our firmware so you did nothing wrong.  You can either read Remaining Capacity to tell that it's really 0 or better yet check the BAT_DET (battery detect) bit in the Flags register to know whether a battery is present.
