Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQ78350-R1A, BQ34Z100-R2
Greetings,
Related to this topic, but having more narrowed down question.
- Does the BQ769x2 series even need a fuel gauge and/or
- What is the suitable fuel gauge for this AFE in your portfolio that also works with BQStudio ?
I've looked at BQ78350-R1A with CEDV algorithm (we're having 6S1P, 32Ah+ high pulse load and quite often full discharge application) but the product info states that it is only for BQ769x0 series AFE-s. Is this true that it is not suitable for BQ769x2 series ?
# Edit
Upon reading This Appnote about Impedance Tracking benefits, finding this Post #1 and Post #2 I'm a bit mixed.
Tough call. I think since the high current pulsing is not that frequent (more like peak current conditions at extreme events) I would guestimate the IT algorithm should be able to track the SOC accuracy decently, since the battery does tend to discharge completely more often than not, which allows the impedance to be tracked during different charge levels.
Thus BQ34Z100-R2 with Impedance Tracking could even be an option(?).
