Hello
I am using BQ34Z100-G1 to monitor the state of charge of a truck battery. The battery is 92Ah with max current of 500 A, although in practice it does not go beyond 250A. It is a 6-cell lead acid battery with a nominal voltage of 12V.
My question is related to the scaling factors. Since it is bigger than 32A, I thought that I could use a 10x scaling factor (250/10 = 25 < 32). But when it comes to calculate the design energy my understanding is that it should be: 92000 mAh * 12 V = 1104000 mWh, and using the mentioned scale factor it would be 110400 which is beyond the limit. Should I use a new scaling factor of, lets say 40, so that the energy design is below 32000 or use the energy scale factor to account for that.
Also I would like to know what would be a reasonable taper current for the case. The default value is 100 mA and since I am using 10x scale factor I guess I should changei t to 10 mA?
Thank you
Javier
