Why Avg I last Run can't update.

Hello Peter,
Can you send me a log file of this happening? I am suspecting the voltage drops below the Flash Update Ok Voltage parameter in data memory (2800mV) which could be why Avg I last Run is not updating.

Hi Nick
Could you help me confirm the load mode and Load select ?
Is it related to the settings here?
Regards,
Peter
Hey Peter,
Load mode and load select should be the default values. These settings are most likely not related to the Avg I last Run parameter updating.

Hi Nick,
Can you tell me what condition the " Avg I last Run " would update ?
Thanks!

Hello Peter,
That should update after a discharge, when the battery is in rest.

Hi Nick,
Could you tell me if continuous discharge needs to be > 500 seconds?
I found this information in the TRM. I used a 1A discharge, but no changes occurred.
Attached are the schematic and gg file.
Please help me confirm.
Thanks!

Peter
Hey Peter,
Try changing load select to 0 and see if that makes the register update. If not, then I believe that this register updates after a complete discharge of the battery. So the battery will need to be discharge close to terminate voltage.

Hi Nick,
The information has been update. Thnak you for your reply.
However, i would like to know the conditions for complete discharge.
I used 1A discharge, but not near terminate voltage.
Then used 0.6A, < terminate voltage.
Please check with the attachment.
Load Select 6_SOC 50 (0620).logLoad Select 6_SOC 100 (0624).log
Is this normal ?
I need to explain this to my client.
Thanks!

Hello Peter,
I talked with the firmware team, and the parameter Avg I Last Run should update when the gauge makes an Qmax and Ra table update. So there must be enough discharge of the battery where Qmax and Ra table updates. This document talks about when Qmax and Ra table updates: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slua364b/slua364b.pdf

Hi Nick,
Apart from RA and QMAX updates, are there other conditions that would cause Avg I Last Run to update?
For example, does it need to be fully charged or discharged to a certain extent?
Regards,
Peter
Hello Peter,
Ra and Qmax updates happen and the discharge needs to be continuous for at least 500 seconds should be the conditions for the update.

Hi Nick,
If the discharge current is not constant until the discharge ends.
Do you think it will update ?
You can refer to the conditons in the picture.
Regards,
Peter
Hi Peter,
As long as there is a discharge current (doesn't matter whether it is constant or not) then it should update. Now, Dsg Current Threshold should be set so it can detect the lowest current. Therefore, Dsg Current Threshold should be set for less than 5mA, and Quit Current Threshold needs to be set for less than Dsg Current Threshold.

Hi Nick,
I will check and confirm. Thank you for your response.
If "Avg I Last Run" is not updating, will it affect anything? For example, SOC calculations or other functions?
Regards,
Peter
Hello Peter,
It will affect SOC calculations if load select is 0. However, I would recommend having load select at 1.

Hi Nick,
I found in a file that if the discharge current is less than 0.1C, the RA TABLE might not update.

What are your thoughts?
My battery design capacity is 4400mAh.
So, if the discharge current is less than 440mA, the RA TABLE won't update?
Because my actual application indeed has a discharge current less than 0.1C, could this be the reason why Avg I Last Run is not updating?
Regards,
Peter
Hello Peter,
Discharge rate has to be greater than 0.1C for RA table to update. This could also be the reason Avg I last run is not updating.
