Current scaling in BQ78350-R1 - IPSCALE =1 or Calibration

HI all,

I have a project where the capacity is relatively small - 5Ah but max continuous currents can reach 50-60A.
I want to use all layers of current protection, meaning both hardware and standard.
that means I need to scale the current reading because max value for current reading is -32.768A,
this way I will have OCD1 and OCD2 in use as well.

what will be a better method for me, to use IP scaling or calibrate the sense resistor to divide the current?

  1. I'm worried that capacity calculations will be not accurate enough because of the small resolution in measurements, will it?
  2. do you have a better idea for parameter set up for this case?

Regards,
