BQ25798EVM: BQ25798

Part Number: BQ25798EVM
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, BQ25798,

Hi Jeff,

I am working on integrating BQ25798 in one of my device as a charger for a battery. I have tested and verified the working of BQ25798EVM hands on. I have a question regarding checking the Battery Health Percentage on the BQ25798EVM. Is there a way to either check it via bqStudio or some other way to check the battery health % of the battery connected to it? I want to make sure whether the BQ25798 charger can tell us about the battery health when working under normal condition or not. I will really appreciate a reply. Thank you! Slight smile

  • Hi Pushpendra,

    The charger does not have memory and so cannot perform gas gauge functions like battery health.  It has an ADC that can provide instantaneous measurements of current and voltage which a host processor could use to compute a simple battery health metric.  I recommend adding a TI gas gauge for improved accuracy.

    Regards,

    Jeff
