BQ27421-G1: Taper rate calculation

Part Number: BQ27421-G1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: EV2400

Hi,

I am using the battery management studio to test the gauge BQ27421 with EV2400. The Parameter Q&A - Quick configuration section has a formula for taper rate as 10*(design_capacity/(taper_current + 0.1*taper_current)). There is an example configuration provided too.

The Gauge communication document (SLUA801 - Jan 2017) has taper rate calculation as: (DESIGN_CAPACITY / (0.1 * TAPER_CURRENT))

These formulae are slightly different from each other. Can you please let me know which one is correct and why?
