Hi TIer

When we recently read battery information, we wanted to read capacity in the form of cWh, and the results were very different. Please help analyze what happened? Thanks a lot

We change the 0x0F RemainingCapacity() == 1

use BQstudio read the cWh value.it is not correct.

But when we read mAh ,value is correct

could you give me some suggestion?

Hello,

Just for clarification, are you attempting to change the 0x0F RemainingCapacity() register? We would not recommend doing this due to it being a read only register.

To have the data presented in cWh, I believe the CAPM bit you have outlined needs to be high. Can you please tell me what is being received when that bit is high?

Also, has a learning cycle been accomplished on this cell already?

Regards,

Anthony Baldino

Hi TIer

Another question:

What is the detail of different between 3 Average Current() and 7 Max Arg I Last Run?

Hello,

Can you please confirm if a learning cycle has been completed on this cell yet? This could be a reason why the values being displayed are potentially incorrect.

Regarding the different load selects, more information about each option can be found in Section 2.2 of the document below:
