Tool/software:
Hi there,
I’m currently working on a project where the fuel gauge can only observe the batteries discharge cycle. The system has an internal battery, which is charged using a temporary external battery (e.g. drill battery) to extend runtime.
During the initial learning phase, it is possible for the gauge to monitor both the charge and discharge cycles. However, due to the client’s requirements, the external battery is exclusively used for charging the internal battery, meaning the fuel gauge can only monitor the discharge cycle of the external battery during normal operation.
Currently, I have been using the BQ34Z100EVM board with the EV2300 for development. While this fuel gauge does support system-side gauging, it relies on to monitoring both charge and discharge cycles. Which unfortunately, does not match our application.
Our primary goal is to reliably detect a low SoC to ensure we stop discharging before the battery reaches critical levels.
Could you please advise if TI offers any suitable fuel gauges for this application?
Additional, let me know if you need additional details.
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Nathan
