Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ40Z50
We are looking to implement a battery pack application for a production product. We are planning to use the BQ40Z50. I am trying to understand structurally what is the correct understanding of what it can and can't do
What I believe the BQ can do
- Gauging
- Protection (over current, over voltage, etc.)
- Some Fault History
- Basic Control of Charge / Discharge (if given a command)
What it can not do
- Time charge/relax cycles
Please let me know if I am missing something.
