BQ28Z610-R1: SOC display problem when temperature resume from -20 degree to 20 degree

Part Number: BQ28Z610-R1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO

Tool/software:

Hi, 

Our battery manufacturer is currently using BQ28Z610-R1 in the design.

When our device is booted up at -20 degree, during boot up process,SOC will report 0%, because the battery voltage drop under 3.4V. Then, system will shutdown due to SOC 0%.

After then, because the SOC is 0% already, device will not be booted up even if the temperature goes up 20 degree and battery voltage is above 3.8V.  

The devices still needs to be charged to let gauge to recalculate SOC from 0%.

Does it have any way to let SOC value to return to normal value when the temperature become warm except charging?Send some commands to reset SOC during boot up??

For the reset command 0x0041, it had been tried in BQstudio tool, it may not be worked because the battery voltage will be cut off for a while during reset.

Please help to give some advice for this scenario.

Thanks.

Ian Lee.

  • Hello, 

    Is there a protection event that is occurring?

    Can you also please describe the test procedure in detail? 

    Have you successfully completed a learning cycle?

  • Our SOC 0% is 3.4V and 100% is 4.2V. the attachment is the gg file.

    We thought that the SOC jumped to 0%, because the battery voltage once dropped under 3.4V .

    The battery have been completed a learning cycle by chem ID which was replied by our battery manufacturer.

    The test procedure is that device is booted up at -20 degree.

    We charge the SOC of device to 100% at room temperature. Then, we will let device to discharge to the target SOC.

    When SOC reaches the target SOC, we will shutdown the device and put it into the chamber which is -20 degree.

    After heat balance(about 4 hours in the chamber), we boot up the device at -20 degree, and observe that if the each target SOC could be booted up into the android  desk.

    According to the experiment, the device could be booted up into android  desk at -20 degree when the SOC is above 70% at room temperature.

    When SOC is below 70%, the device couldn't be booted up into android  desk at -20 degree. During boot up process, SOC will jump to 0%, because the battery voltage drop under 3.4V. Then, our system will shutdown due to SOC 0%.

    After then, because the SOC is 0% already, device will not be booted up even if the temperature goes up 20 degree and battery voltage is above 3.8V. 

    Does it have any way(set some registers) to let SOC value to return to normal value when the temperature become warm except full charging?

    Does anyone else have a similar issue? How was it resolved?

    Thanks.MP70HH1_Rev_A5_V1.02 2025.01.16.gg.csv

  • Hello, 

    I recommend you trying to use the GPCRB tool to configure the gauge for cold temperature performance.
