BQ34Z100: Battery Freeze Protection

ReedKacz

Part Number: BQ34Z100

Hello Gauge Experts,

My customer is looking to use the information gathered from the bq34z100 gauge on their lead acid battery to help them protect against a battery freeze condition in cold temperature external locations.

Do you have any recommended resources or proven techniques for this?

Thanks!

Hi Kang,

Thanks for the quick response. The customer has not specified an accuracy need - just a need to implement battery freeze protection. They are looking for recommendations related to the measurements collected by the bq34z100 and translating that into protecting the battery from permanent damage or freezing.
