BQ28Z610: HTCFR26650 low temperature full charge estimation issue

Part Number: BQ28Z610
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: GPCRB

Hello!

I'm facing unexpected behavior when using HTCFR26650 2 cell pack.

As soon as temperature is lower than some threshold the full charge and remaining charge estimation goes wild and drops to values well lower than 1000mAh.

The full design capacity is 6400mAh (for 2 cell pack) but the gauge does never report anything near this value. The value varies between 5700 and 6100. But I guess this is a separate issue that I would also like to get a little help about.)

Some relevant (I hope) bits of information:

- I selected 0x444 CHEM_ID and everything works pretty okay on temperature ranges > ~10C

- We're using internal temperature for IT estimation. TS1 is not connected to a thermostat.

- Settings->Configuration->Temperature Enable is set to 0x01 (TSInt). 

- Protections: UTC = 0C, UTD=-20C.

I'm also attaching gg.csv with all DF parameters.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

  • Hi Georgii

    Pls use our online tool gpcrb to optimize the gauge for cold temp performance. The instructions are straight forward.
    When you get the results from the tool, do the following:

    -Program the chem dat file on the gauge.
    -Then program the gg file returned on the gauge
    -Change update status and the ra flag to the defualt value. 00 and ff55 and ffff
    -perform a learning cycle
    -perform cold temp evaluation.

    thanks
