Tool/software:
I asked a question on these forums around using a coulomb counter for SOC estimation of a single cell NiMH battery. I was told TI did not have any applicable products, and the thread was locked before I was able to ask any follow up questions, see here BQ26501: Single cell NiMH compatible coulomb counter - Power management forum - Power management - TI E2E support forums. I would like to ask why I cannot use a device such as the BQ26501, and provide it with a 3V3 rail from a boost converter? It would still be able to perform coulomb counting, from which I can estimate the loss/gain in SOC? Please can I have a better explanation as to why this would not work.
Kind Regards
