BQ34Z100-G1: Failed in charging learning cycle

Part Number: BQ34Z100-G1

Hi, I'm using BQ34Z100-G1 with Battery ICR18650-30B spec:

1. Nominal voltage : 3.78V

2. 4-cells

3. cell capacity : 2950mAh

The gas gauge settings are:

1. Design Cap=7080 (60% of battery capacity)

2. CC Threshold=6372 (90% of Design Cap)

3. Design Energy=2620

4. Energy Scale=10

But, it doesn't update the learning status to 5 after fully charged (charging current is about 500mA).

Thank you for your help.

  • Do you have a log of the learning cycle? How much relaxation you allowed before charging (after discharging) and at the end of charging? Do you have 4 cells in series? The recommended charging rate is C/2, but based on your capacity 2950mAh and charge current of 500mA that's a C/6 rate. the time between OCV measurements at the end of discharge and at the end of charge is too long, which would prevent Qmax from updating to learning status 5.
  • Before charging, the battery is relaxed for more than 2 hours after discharging. And after charging, the battery is relaxed for more than 2 days.

    The cells are connected in parallel.
