BQ40Z60: Charge Terminated (FC bit Set) if one cell is reached to 4.2V (Cells not Balancing).

Part Number: BQ40Z60

I am using BQ40z60 having 3 Cells. Cell voltage of each cell is

  • 1st cell - 4.1V
  • 2nd cell - 3.9V,
  • 3rd cell - 2.2V.

Cell Balancing is not happening ( Enabled CB & CBR ).

It is Not charging, Since Cell1 voltage is 4.1v, Once  if i apply 15V from adapter start charging in 150mA then goes down TCA bit will set first, RCA also sets next, then FC,  VCT, PV bit also sets. Charging goes OFF. 

  • CUV, CUVC bit set -> due to 2.2V cell
  • FC bit sets -> due to 4.2V

How to make cell balance. Externally i can charge and balance and charge. But, Cell Balancing is not happening. Anyone help me to solve this.

Thank you
