Tool/software:
Hello,
I have a question about the design parameter design energy of the BQ34z100-R2 fuel gauge. There is uncertainty as to whether this refers to one cell or to the entire stack.
There is no indication anywhere in the data sheet or in the TRM of the BQ34z100-R2 as to whether the parameter refers to one cell (plus possible cells in parallel) or the entire stack.
Even here in the forum where the question has been asked many times, there is confusion and different information.
In this post, the design energy refers to the entire stack (entire battery):
In this post, the exact opposite is said and it refers to one cell (plus possible cells in parallel):
1) It would be great if you could clarify this and give us the information how the Design Energy parameter should be determined. It is clear for us from other posts that it must be entered in cWh and eventually scaled.
2) Real example: If the battery is a 13s6p battery and the whole battery has an energy of 940.68 Wh and one cell then 12.06 Wh what would then be the parameter that needs to be entered in the design parameters based on the answer to question 1?
Is it 94068 cWh or 7236 cWh and if it were the first, would this value have to be scaled?
Best regards
Lukas
