BQ4050: BQ4050 High current discharge RSOC jump

Part Number: BQ4050

Hi

Using CEDV mode, we found that at 5C rate, RSOC stops at 7% of EDV2. Only below 0.5C, RSOC can be discharge to 0%. Based on the above situation, the EDV0 point is fixed at 3V, then the RSOC jumps directly from 22% to 0 during 5C discharge. 

The GPC report as below:

EMF 3490
EDVC0 80
EDVC1 0
EDVR1 349
EDVR0 448
EDVT0 4127
EDVTC 9

VOC50 3808
VOC25 3752

  • Hello Star,

    The BQ4050 is a CEDV gauge. It learns FCC at the end of the discharge cycle. 

    From the given data, when the gauge starts the discharge of the 0.2C cycle, it will use the learned FCC from the 1C discharge cycles. 

    Please allow the gauge two cycles at least to start predicting good SOC. 



    This the limitation of CEDV gauges. It needs a full discharge to learn the usable capacity. If the load is changed, this can happen. 

    Regards,
