BQ40Z50-R1: choosing 2nd level protection thresholds

Part Number: BQ40Z50-R1

We are working on a 2S1P battery pack with 2-nd level protection (BQ2947xx + SC Fuse). Can someone explain the procedure of choosing the right COV value for BQ40Z50-R1 and BQ2947xx version?

Cells are LG INR18650 MJ1 3500mAh (datasheet).

  • Hi Roman and sorry for the late response, according to your battery Data sheet Article 2.4, Max Charge voltage is 4.2V plus/minus 0.05V, so I would set COV to 4.2V according to the battery's datasheet recommendation and leave the 0.05V as a headroom for any measurement inaccuracy.
    Best,
