I've have recently bought a BQ40Z60 eval kit with EV2300 interface and I'm trying to enable the charge and discharge FETs from BQStudio, but I'm not getting any output voltage on the VSYS terminal. The charger is not working either. I've supplied the VAC input with 19V from a lab power supply, but the board is not drawing any current. I've tried disabling every voltage/current/temperature protection available, but this didn't help either.
The battery connected is a 4S6P li-ion battery made up of standard 18650 cells. The total pack voltage is 15,65 volts (as measured by BQStudio), so the battery is not fully charged yet. An 8 ohm load is connected to the VSYS terminal, which should result in a 2A load current.
Below is a screenshot showing my device register values.
