Tool/software:
Hi,
I want to use the BQ40z50 gauge and balancer for a two cell LiFePo4 battery.
I want to increase the balancing current with external mosfets.
My question is:
Do I have to connect the cells, filling up the VC1-VC4 from ground up (fill sequentialy the slots) and short the remaining ones, or can I put the cells at any "slot", making the correct configurations internally?
I do not want to put one cell between VSS and VC1, because I have no way to excite the gate of the external mosfet. I hope I am not wrong in my diagnostics.
Regards
Thomas
