BQ27520EVM: battery SOC suddenly drops to 0

user6300248

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ27520EVM, GPCCHEM, BQSTUDIO

Hello technical support：

At present, we have successfully learned the battery charge curve on the bq27520evm. Were also strictly according to the learning cycle document and get the dffs with STATUS = 2. When we use the EVM to test the accuracy of the battery charge curve , we found that if we use a larger load (2A) , the SOC will directly jump value to 0 from a large value . The watch log is shown in the figure below. The log and ggfile of the whole process are also provided in the attachment, please help to check this problem. Thanks !

We will take a look and get back to you.

I see in your gg file, the chemistry id 3359 is used. It is for a battery that operates from 4.35V to 3.0V. Did you use the GPCCHEM tool to find out this chemistry id? Can I see your GPC report?

Also, did you see the same issue when you did the learning cycle? Thanks.

Hi andy,

Thank you for your review and reply！

I have used the GPC tool to conduct two chemical ID evaluations. One of the original data was generated by the battery manufacturer's charge and discharge test , and the other one was generated from bqstudio . Both two tests are strictly followed the GPC data collection document.

Could you please help me to see if these two chemical IDs can be used , will it cause the above problems? Do I need to learn chemistry ID again ?

Reports are in the attachment.

In addition, we use 1 / 7C discharge rate training (900ma) in the learning cycle, but the discharge current of the typical application is about 2A. Is this the main reason cause above problems? Do we need to use 2A discharge current during the constant current discharge step during learning? But I worry that may cause a fail learning due to the discharge rate recommended in official document is 0.1C ~ 0.2C.

Yes, you can increase the rate so that we need to be above 0.1 C for learning cycle.

Hi,andy：

I have tried to train the chemical ID again, but I found that based on our battery, the best matching chemical ID has a big error no matter how I train. In this case, the guage is inaccurately even if the learning cycle is successfully performed. We have studied on the basis of the chemical ID of 7.3% error previously, and tested the problem of inaccurate battery measurement under the condition of large load discharge. The attachment is a chem id log. Please help us to see how to match a chemical ID with a deviation of less than 2% . Thanks!

I have checked the two GPC reports. One chemistry id #1785 has a 6.38% dedication. It is not ideal but it should not cause the big SOC jump.

I would suggest you follow the learning cycle procedure to check the SOC accuracy. The blog below shows how to calculate the battery gauge accuracy step by step.
