BQ34Z100-G1: Qmax does not update after the first discharge cycle

Part Number: BQ34Z100-G1

Hi

I have a NiMH battery pack that consists of 8 cells. After having entered the system parameters according to the step by step design procedure found in the datasheet, I wanted to run the learning cycles (SLUA334B). However, after the first discharge cycle the Qmax parameter does not updated and the OCVTAKEN bit is not set. Can anybody tell me what is wrong with my system parameters?

Here is the list of the fuel gauge parameters:

Design Capacity: 2300

Design Energy: 2300 x 8 x 1.2 = 22080

Cell Charge Voltage Tx-Ty: 1500

Number of Series Cells: 8

Pack Configuration: VOLSEL is set

Voltage Divider: 8 x 1500 = 12000

Flash Update OK Cell Volt = 1200 x 8 x 5000 / 12000 = 4000

CC Gain = CC Delta = 20.000

Load Mode = 0

Load Select = 1

Cell Terminate Voltage = 1000

Quit current: 1

Qmax Cell 0: 2300

Chemical ID: 6103

I have attached the .srec file in order to provide more detailed information.
