BQ40Z50-R2: Cell Balancing Coefficients

Part Number: BQ40Z50-R2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ40Z80

Hi,

I'd like to calculate appropriate Cell Balance Coefficients for use with the following parameters;

Bal Time/mAh Cell 1

Bal Time/mAh Cell 2-4

Default values are 367 and 514 respectively, but it's unclear to me how these values are arrived at, when following the example provided (SLUUBT5A, p.74).

Following the example, if get;

Vcell: 3600mV

RVCx: 225

Rcb: 50

Duty: 0.75

Balance Time per mAh Cell 1: 367

Balance Time per mAh Cell 2 – 6: 667

Can you provide further detail of the values assumed to arrive at the default values?

Thank you,

Jeremy.
