BQ34Z100: BQ34Z100PWR-G1

Part Number: BQ34Z100
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO,

Tool/software:

When developing a golden battery pack configuration file is there a preferred sequence of events? After manually entering the baseline configuration data (I.E. pack configuration, capacity, charge currents, etc).  I assume I should next select my battery chemistry ID and program the selected chemistry.  Once this is completed I want to verify that the associated battery chemistry data is both pushed into the battery management IC and also into displayed bqStudio data memory application. Please confirm. If this is not the case then I assume I would have to Read All via bdStudio again.

Once this point I assume I can conduct the voltage and current calibration but here too I have the same question, does the execution of these calibrations automatically push the resultant parametric data into both the battery management IC and also update the bqStudio displayed configuration data?  If not both locations which of the two locations gets updated?  I ask because subsequent to these steps I would create the Golden image which would be based off of the data displayed in bqStudio and not necessarily what currently resides in the BQ34Z100-G1. Subsequent to creating the golden image I would use that file for all production batteries going forward.

  • Hey Harry,

    Yes, you can Read All on BQStudio to verify all the changes were made. You can send the "CHEM_ID" command to verify the chemistry was programmed successfully.

    Yes, when you conduct the calibration through BQStudio, the calibration data will be push into the data memory of the gauge. When BQStudio gets updated, the data memory on the gauge is updated too. BQStudio is reading data from the device and outputting the data in a graphical user interface. All data seen on BQStudio is directly obtained from the device.
