  • Hello Martin,

    BQ40z50 and BQ40z50-R2 are the same hardware, but with different firmware. Here is a document that talks about the changes in the FW: https://www.ti.com/lit/an/slua833/slua833.pdf

    BQ40z80 is similar to the BQ40z50, but can support up to 6 cells in series (bq40z50 supports up to 4 cells in series)

    BQ41z50 is a device that supports up to 4 cells in series and will include our newest gauging technology DZT.

    Regards,

    Adrian
