BQ34110: LiFePo4 4S1P CEDV Profile

Part Number: BQ34110
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: GPCCEDV, BQSTUDIO

Hi, Our temp chamber would take weeks to arrive and we need to have the BQ34110 working even as not as accurate. can anyone share the CEDV profile of LifePo4 4S1P for BQ34110?

It would be better it you can share the gg.csv profile. we don't need to be accurate we just need a rough estimate baseline of what would be the values.

Problem we are having is that even though we set the DOD table it is still reading 0% charge. so please share if you have the profile for Lifepo4 4s1p setup. 

thank you in advance.

  • Hi,

    Unfortunately, I do not have a generic .gg file for a LFP battery. The GPCCEDV tool will calculate parameters for the specific cells you are using.

  • Hi Evan, I just need a LiFePo4 4S1P example .gg file. regardless of capacity. we just need a baseline to get going.

  • Hi, 

    The GPCCEDV tool does not output a .gg file but list parameters that need to be changed.

    Attached is the report from a LFP battery.

    GPC CEDV tool, rev=60		
    Configuration used in present fit		
    ProcessingType=1		
    NumCellSeries=1		
    CellTermV=2000		
    ChemType=4		
    VoltageColumn=1				
    CurrentColumn=2				
    TemperatureColumn=3				
    ElapsedTimeColumn=0		
    FitMaxSOC%=12		
    FitMinSOC%=6		
    LearnSOC%=7		
    		
    CEDV parameters resulting from the fit. If EDVV bit is set to 1, EMF and EDVR0 have to be multiplied by the number of serial cells when written to data flash		
    		
    EMF	3114	
    EDVC0	22	
    EDVC1	0	
    EDVR1	1739	
    EDVR0	2343	
    EDVT0	5341	
    EDVTC	11	
    VOC75	3316	
    VOC50	3291	
    VOC25	3237	
    		
    		
    Recommended SOC deviation tolerance at EDV2 point is  < 5% for low temperature and <3% for room and high temperature		
    		
    Deviations for this set of parameters are given below for each file		
    		
    file	SOC error, %	pass
    roomtemp_lowrate.csv	-1.13663407353065	1
    roomtemp_highrate.csv	3.32962087261039	1
    hightemp_lowrate.csv	-1.14727635247591	1
    hightemp_highrate.csv	0.323503908513422	1
    lowtemp_lowrate.csv	3.02668005024126	0
    lowtemp_highrate.csv	-9.00627890912925	0
    		
    Warning: Deviation is above recommended level. Retry the fit with different settings, or proceed on  your own risk if the accuracy is acceptable for your application

  • hello, yes sorry, i was asking for the .gg file example for 4S1P LifePO4. we are having a problem that the capacity will shoot down to 0% once it discharges.

  • Hi,

    I do not have .gg file example for 4S1P LFP application. Attached is a .gg file generated from the default .srec. However, I am not sure this will fix your issue, your issue sounds like it is related to not having a proper chemID match. Or not properly configured, I recommend getting a proper chemID match and then tuning your .gg file to your specific application. I cannot help with your SOC jump until a proper match is obtained.

  • Sorry wrong fw linked above, correct fw below.

  • I have setup everything and double check, I reference the parameters of LifePo4 from the excel file from this thread 

    https://e2e.ti.com/support/power-management-group/power-management/f/power-management-forum/1184703/bq34110-how-to-update-battery-from-default-to-lead-acid-for-bq34110

     After I discharge and recharge to 100% SOC, whenever I will discharge again it will automatically shoot down to 3%. Is there a bit or command on the gauge to enable proper learning capacity? 

  • Hi,

    This is most likely due to not using the GPCCEDV tool correctly. The parameter from the file shared are not tailored for your battery. You need to use the GPCCEDV tool on the battery you plan to use and adjust relevant parameters. You will continue to receive in accuracies until you do this.

  • I cannot use GPCCEDV tool as I cannot perform the proper GPC cycle since the calculated EDV measurements is wrong.

    I tried and set the register to use the fixed EDV. Using fixed EDV corrected the SOC and other problem, so the root cause of my problem is that the calculated EDV measurements is wrong. I cannot seem to find this calculated EDV, I can only find the fixed EDV I set.

    My question is how to make the IC reset or recompute the calculated EDV? How many discharge and charge cycle so the IC will recompute the EDV? Should the discharge and charge ACCUM register bit enabled or disabled? please list down the steps so the IC will recompute the EDV correctly. there is no chemistryID option in the BQStudio for BQ34110.

  • Hi,

    This will not solve your issue since your gauge is not properly configured for the cells you are using.
