Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO
Hi,
We have a battery using BQ40Z50-R1 installed in our system for over 6 months, but the battery has never gone thru a complete charge/discharge cycle (Cycle count = 0) since our system operates with AC plugged in.
The FCC/RMC dropped to 3482mAh (design capacity is about 8100mAh), and so we have battery fault alarm since our system check the FCC for valid range of 6000mAh - 10000 mAh.
I removed the battery from the system and set it on the table, and starts logging the information with just EV2300/BQStudio. The FCC recovered to about 7800mAh after about 5 hours (according to the log information).
I notice that before the battery recovered, the BatteryStatus(DSG) bit is 0, the ITStatus(REST) is also 0. The T_ambient is -296.5C. Max Error = 101%. T_sim = 24.2C
When the battery recovered, the BatteryStatus(DSG) bit is 1, the ITStatus(REST) is also 1. The T_ambient is 18.6C. Max Error = 101%. T_sim = 17.9C
Please note that this battery still have Max Simulation Iterations set at 50, not 30. The battery was also not seal.
Please see attached files.
Thank you,
