BQ27Z561-R2: learning cycle clarification (ERROR?)

Part Number: BQ27Z561-R2

Tool/software:

Hello in the battery gauge learning cycle document it states the following

Relax for at least 2 Hours •

This relaxation time allows for a valid OCV reading to be taken and stored for the Qmax update. The valid OCV reading occurs when the dV/dt of the battery pack is < 4 µV/s. Again, the gauge monitors for this condition.

• The [VOK] bit in the IT status() register clears once the gauge has taken an OCV reading and qualified it for a Qmax update.

• The GaugingStatus[REST] flag is set when a valid OCV reading occurs

• The 2 hour wait time is a recommendation; the most accurate time is checking to determine when the [VOK] and [RDIS] bits are clear, which can occur sooner than 2 hours.

• At this point, the first Qmax update should have occurred. The [QMax] flag is toggled when the QMax update occurs. Update Status would now be 0x05. New values for Qmax should also be observable in the Gas Gauging section of the Data Memory view or in the autoexported .gg.csv files. • Note that it takes less time for a battery to relax once it is fully charged than it does when it is discharged.


So do BOTH bits get clear or is it just the VOK bit??? What do I need to check
