Discharge Completion and Charge Completion ON in same time

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ78PL116

Hi,

Chip(BQ78PL116)

I received the batteries after sales service,  the flag of DC and DC flag is set to 1.

This occurs because the standby power consumption of the product is below the Transition to Idle Current.

The battery is fully charged (CC is set).
The standby mode of the product, slowly draining the battery (DC is set).

The RSOC is 0%.

The flag "Charge Completion" does not turn off and the battery is completely discharged.

The battery is unusable! It seems that this is a bug.

Did you do an update? 
Is what I omitted the configuration of a parameter?

Thanks

    I am out of the office and do not have access to my documents. You should try a relearn/initialize to see if this fixes the pack.

  • Hi,

    This clears the problem.

    But the problem will return.

    He must miss an exit condition.

    Thank you to consult the technical document.

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    Can you answer the questions in my first post please?

    The battery is unusable! It seems that this is a bug.

    Did you do an update?

    Thanks

  • I verified that the CC flag will get cleared as the pack discharges, so the CC and DC flags should not get set at the same time. Can you provide a pack parameter dump for me to review? I may be able to find a parameter change that can help.

  • Hi, thank you for your reply.

    I have just come back from holiday. I apologize for being late.

    I apologize for my error : It is a old chip  -> BQ114.

    I am doing a test on the new chip BQ116, I would return to you with the new test, monday.

    Can you tell me the location where you found this information ?

    I find a similar information, but it concerns the flag FC and FD(Fully charge, Fully Discharge).

    The two flags have a correct operation, with 'Set SOC Threshold' and 'Clear SOC Threshold'.

    The attached file contains the configuration PPCSV. (Rename in. Txt)

  • The TRM does not state that the CC flag will clear if the pack is discharged with the current set below the discharge current threshold. I had verified it on the bench. I reviewed your .ppcsv file and some of flag control parameters are setup differently from the ones that I was using. I will test your parameters on the bench setup.

  • Hi,

    I just finished the test with a BQ78PL116.

    The transition current discharge is set to '-120mA' to go faster.

    The discharge current was him '-100mA.

    The DC flag (Discharge completion) is this not on, but the result is the same.

    CUV (under Cell voltage) is set to 1. 

    The battery is unusable.

  • Julien,

    I was able to reproduce the case where CC did not clear when the discharge current was below the Discharge Current Threshold. You have the FC Clear SOC Threshold parameter set to -1. Set it to a percentage (e.g. 95%) and the CC flag should clear when the SOC reaches 94%.

  • Hi,

    I write because I have already tried ...

    See my previous post, citation :

    <<< I find a similar information, but it concerns the flag FC and FD(Fully charge, Fully Discharge)."

    The two flags have a correct operation, with 'Set SOC Threshold' and 'Clear SOC Threshold'. >>>

     

    This does not work for CC flag.

     

    Thanks

  • Julien,

    The FC Clear SOC Threshold parameter setting is the only way that I could reproduce the issue on the bench. I will work with your pack, if you want to send one to TI.

    Regards

    Tom
