BQ40Z50-R2: DOD

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

Hello,

What are the update conditions for DOD_EOC? DOD_EOC is always 0, may I ask because it is not updated or the updated value is too large to display? How do I determine if it is updated?

  • Hello Sunrain,

    DOD_EoC means DOD at end of charge. This parameter gets updated in the data flash when a valid charge termination (VCT) happens. The VCT conditions are stated in section 4.6 Valid Charge Termination in the Technical Reference Manual

    You might also want to visit this FAQ for more insight.

  • Hello Jose,

    DOD_EOC is also not updated when VCT happens

  • Hello Jose,

    What is the impact if DOD_EOC is not updated?

  • Hi Sunrain,

    If DOD at E0C is zero, this implies a wrong ChemID might be matched. Did you match your ChemID correctly? If so, please provide your ChemID.

    What is the voltage saved in dataflash (settings) in the parameter Voltage at EoC? This should match to the highest voltage of the ChemID.

  • Hello Jose,

    The chance of updating my original ID is very low, and then it will be updated in real time after I change my ID. However, the original ID used is recommended by GPC-report, and the new ID is not in GPC-report. Which ID should I choose for normal use?

    Thanks

  • Hello Sunrain,

    What do you mean by " the new ID is not in GPC-report" ?

    You should be using the best matched ID when you ran the GPCCHEM tool. This has to be the latest battery cell you are using.

  • Hello Jose,

    I use GPCCHEM tool to get GPC-report, and I use the best ID in GPC-report for testing, but this DOD_EOC update frequency is relatively low. After I changed the ID test, DOD_EOC could be updated every time, but the changed ID was not in the GPC-report. How do I select an ID in this case? Choose the best ID in GPC-report or choose the new ID?

    Thanks

  • Hi Sunrain,

    How did you get this "new ID"? How is it not part of the GPC-report and still give you accurate results?

    Please share the following. 
    1- GPC-report,  and input data if you have it.
    2- new ID
    3- log file which describes a charging/discharging profile of your application
    4- configuration file.

  • Hello Jose,

    GPC-report recommended 400, and I changed the 4103 test。I use LFP battery, ID error is relatively large。

    Thanks

  • Hi Sunrain,

    The input data to the GPCHEM tool does not have a charge to full at the beginning. 



    Input data


    You need to submit a charge to full, relax for 2 hours, discharge to empty and relax for 5 hours. This is probably why your matched ID : 400 is not good for End of Charge detection. It was wrongly matched.

    Also, a good matching ID is when the DOD error is below 3%. It looks like the report says that the best ID is 6.55% DOD error deviaton. This is not recommended.

    Note:
    If this error is not decreased when you submit new data, Then you will need to contact your local TI office or contact a Field Apps Engineer (FAE) if you not already have one. Then, the FAE will submit three of your cells for characterization and essentially we will create an ID for your cell. If this is not done properly, then the gauge will not do proper gauging and a lot of error predictions will happen for SOC, SOH, etc.

    Regards,
    Jose Couso

  • Hello Jose,

    I don't know what the basis of GPC-report is. I have done a lot of verification, and it should be OK as long as there is discharge-relax data, and the result is the same with other data.

    I know that the error of this ID is too large, but there is no other choice at present, and we cannot meet the requirement of TI create an ID at present. According to the current test data, which ID should we choose?

    Thanks

  • Hi Sunrain,

    It is recommended to use a matched ID with a DOD error less than 3%. 

    According to the report, the ID with less DOD error is 400. This one is still not recommended. If you cannot meet our requirements, then it is expected to see errors in gauging. We can only support gauging issues if our procedures are followed.
