BQ28Z610: Creating a golden image for a 2s pack

Part Number: BQ28Z610
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EV2400

I am considering using the bq28z610 device for a 2s pack.

I already have the Gauge Development Kit which I was hoping to use to create a golden image but as I am using 2 cells in series, I think I will not be able to charge and discharge the two cells as the kit does not support the voltage levels.

Is there a way to perform a golden image on one cell and translate that to two cells in series? Otherwise what is the best way to automate creating a golden image?

Thanks

Hi,
You can use EV2400 to connect the bq28z610evm with the battery to do a learning cycle with a external charger.
Then you can create the golden image after the learning cycle

But it's not automated. I have to connect the load manually. Then when done remove the load manually because the ev2400 does not support the relay output control feature that the ev2300 has. They have the hardware but never wrote the firmware.
