Part Number: BQ27426
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25601

Hi TI support members.

Please confirm the following questions.

[Question]
When full charged and continue charging, the battery will not recharge unless it reaches "Recharge Threshold".
Does the SOC of GG fall below 100% during that period?
We worry that SOC value will be changing from 100% to 99% or 98% after full charged and continue charging.
If it is, what is suggeston to avoid it?

    Hi Chiaki
    You host can poll the FC flag, and once set, have the charger stop charging. The gauge does not control the charger.

    Hi Onyx

    Thank you for your reply.
    I would like to keep SOC=100% during charge.
    Recahrge voltage of the BQ25601 is 4.1V,therefore I worry about the SOC became under 99% between fullcharge to 4.1V.
    How can the SCO to keep 100%?

    Best rergards,

    Hi Chiaki

    SOC will stay at 100% once it reaches that value while you are still charging. If the voltage drops after it has reached full charge and then a rem cap simulation is run while in relax it will adjust SOC accordingly. I am not sure if this answered your question. Let me know if it didnt. Also, pls see the charge termination section of the TRM.

    thanks

    Hi Onyx

    Thank you for your reply.

    "a rem cap simulation is run while in relax it will adjust SOC"
    →Is the SOC adjusted to keep 100% by rem cap simulation until BQ25601 rechargeing?

    Hi Chiaki
    No it will simulate to that new DOD and clear the FC flag if the SOC is lower than the FC clear value
    thanks

    Hi Onyx
    In order to prevent the SOC≦99%(maintaining SOC = 100%) during the full charge voltage ~ 4.1 V (BQ 25601 recharge voltage), Is it the only method to recharge by the host before SOC≦99%?
    Is there a method to maintain SOC = 100% with charger IC or Fuel Gage IC?

    Hi Chiaki.
    If you indeed fully charge the battery to taper, i do not envisage the cell voltage reducing significantly during relaxation such that the SOC decrements from 100%. If due to self discharge of the battery, the cell voltage reduces by more than 1% SOC , The filtered SOC will stay at 100% but the true (unfiltered SOC ) will decrement to 99%. To keep get the true SOC at 100% you need to plug the charger back in
    thanks
