BQ40Z50: RM jump when in aging process

Part Number: BQ40Z50

Tool/software:

Dear Expert


The BQ27542 power meter used in our previous project experienced abnormal RM (residual capacity, some even 1mAH) jump when the battery voltage was around 3.78V (normal) during the aging process in the production line aging cabinet according to the following steps.
Aging steps (GG file reference attachment):
1. At 25 ± 3 ℃, discharge at a constant current of 0.5C to 3.0V;
2. Let it sit for 10 minutes;
3. Charge at a constant current of 0.5C to 4.35V, and then maintain a constant voltage to 0.02C;
4. Let it sit for 10 minutes;
5. 0.5C constant current discharge to 3.0V;
6. Let it sit for 10 minutes;
7. Charge at a constant current of 0.2C to 3.79V, and then maintain a constant voltage of 0.02C;

  • Hello Gabriel,

    Please check the following:

    By importance, we want to check the following parameters one by one:

    1. 1.Calibration of IVT
      1. 1.Calibration of the current readings
      2. 2.Calibration of the voltage readings (BAT, VC1, PACK)
      3. 3.Calibration of the temperature sensor
    2. 2.CHEMID (Catalogue/ Custom)
      1. 1.Used Tool?
      2. 2.Check initial Ra table values
    3. 3.Learning Cycle
    4. 4.Load Mode
    5. 5.Qmax Updates
      1. 1.Good OCV
      2. 2.Where is the jump?
      3. 3.What term voltage?
    6. 6.Ra Tables Updates
      1. 1.Are updates within a few 10 of mΩ?
