BQ20Z95: Full Charge Capacity (FCC) update during discharge

Part Number: BQ20Z95

Dear TI,

I've run a full discharge of 5.0A on fully charged 2 LiCoO2 battery packs but both gave different results especially on the capacity estimation i.e. FCC and Rem Cap.

Both samples have been rest more > 3 hours after fully charged.

Below is the curves on the results:

  1. Sample SN11

    The raw data: BPK340_Dch 5A_SN11_1.log

  2. Sample SN13

The raw data: 

Comparing 2 graphs above, I observe that in graph for SN11, the FCC is updated while in graph for SN13, the FCC is static (no updates were made).

Why there's a different behavior/result on capacity estimation for both samples even the discharge current rate is the same?

The battery details are as below:

  • 4S6P
  • Design Capacity: 14.4Ah

Appreciate your support.
