Hello,
When I send the I2C balance command to the IC it seems as if some cells are not being balanced. The way I am testing this is checking the resistance between the cell_to_be_balanced and the cell below it. For the 1st and last cells I see the resistance of about 100Ohms (47 * 2) but for the middle few cells I am measuring an open circuit (large impedance) even when I am measuring across a balanced cell.
I have the BQ76925 EVM and I get the same result when measuring resistance there - about 96Ohms between some cells (when they are being balanced) and a large resistance between other cells even when they are supposed to be being balanced.
My setup is a 6S battery controlled by an MSP430. ~10k pullup resistors on the I2C bus.
Thank you.
