Hi Experts

Does the BQ28Z610 or BQ28Z610-R1 support silicon-anode cells? Are there any specific parameters we need to pay attention to?

Thanks

Hello Steven,

Can you send the datasheet for the battery you are using?

Hi Adrian

It is still under development and currently under discussion. However, the charging voltage might be 4.53V or 4.55V. The anode material is actually silicon/graphite.

Thanks

Hello Steven,

I discussed with the firmware team and currently the firmware on our gauges does not support silicon anode batteries.

Hi Adrian

Are you saying that not only the bq28z610 but also all other gauges, such as the bq40z50 and bq41z50, do not support silicon/graphite anode cells?

Thanks

Steven

Hello Steven,

That is correct. Our current FW on these gauges do not support Silicon Anode.
