Chemistry ID calculator error for FDK Ni-MH cells

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO

Hi, I submitted the data from the charge/discharge cycle to get a new Chemistry ID as instructed in the SLVA725 instruction manual, but it appears that I am getting an error and a couple warnings from the data submitted.

Here is the resulting report: 

Chemistry ID selection tool, rev=2.12		
		
Configuration used in present fit:		
ProcessingType=2		
NumCellSeries=12		
ElapsedTimeColumn=0		
VoltageColumn=1		
CurrentColumn=2		
TemperatureColumn=3		
		
Best chemical ID : 6100	Best chemical ID max. deviation, % : 100.99	
		
		
		
Summary of all IDs with max. DOD deviation below 3%		
		
Chem ID	max DOD error, %	Max R deviation, ratio
0	0	0
		
Accuracy Error: Deviation is so high that it is most likely due to anomaly in the data. Please check that data files have recomended format, units and test schedule		
       0	0	0	0		
Warning: Discharge rate is too high. High rate reduces ID detection accuracy	 10 hr rate is recomeended. Total discharge time is less than 5 hrs	 t_hrs=  3.91838888888889	0		
Warning: difference between initial and final DOD is less than 90%	 dDOD_%=  75.61494491364		

The cell pack in question was charged and discharged on a MACCOR while the current, voltage, and temp was logged using the bqStudio via the BQ34Z100PWR-G1 BMU.

The Ni-MH cells were charged and discharged as per the manufacturer’s recommendations.

 

Please advise as to how I should proceed to get a chemistry ID for the cells that we would like to use in our solution.

The Ni-MH cells we are using are the FDK Twicell HR-43FAUP (datasheet here) in a 12S3P configuration. The pack was charged at 1.35A and discharged at 2.7A down to 10.8V.

 Let me know if there is any other information that may be useful.

Thanks,

Dariusz
