Original question:

BQ27542-G1: How to reserve the capacitor?

BQ27542-G1: remaining capacity

Minqi Zhao

Part Number: BQ27542-G1

Dear expert,

My customer is using BQ27524-G1 in cell phone. After the phone's battery is 0%, it still needs to be placed for one month. So the customer wants to reserve 125mAh in the reserve capacity register. But when the SOC is 0%, test the remaining capacity is only 100mAh, less than 125mAh. The terminate voltage is 3150mV, load is 180uA. 

To explain the problem, I have two questions.

1. Can you help to explain the meaning more clearly of below content?

 

2. What's the meaning of reserve Cap? What's the impact? Thanks for your support.

    Hello Minqi,

    The reserve capacity setting will show 0% Remaining Capacity at the point the battery has the amount of reserve capacity specified.

    Has a complete learning cycle been done and configured on the gauge? Without a successful learning cycle it could cause the gauge to miss the 125mAh programmed reserve capacity.

    Could you send a log file of the discharge and the .GG file of the configuration?

    Sincerely,

    Wyatt Keller

    Hi Keller,

    Thanks for your reply. I'm getting customer to send the log and gg file.

    But I still have one question to explain to customer. I'm confused about the yellow part word, could you help to explain " A loaded rate or no-load rate of compensation can be selected for Resreve Cap by setting the [RESCAP] bit in the Pack Configuration data flash register. This is a specialized function to allow time for a controlled shutdown after 0 RemainingCapacity() is reached"? Thanks for your support.

    The loaded rate is a simulated reserve capacity similar to the gauge if it is running with a load current.

    the no load rate is using just a standard subtraction from the computed remcap.
