BQ34Z100-G1: GCP REPORT

Part Number: BQ34Z100-G1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ27426

Dear all,

I am developing a new design with LiFePO4 batteries and I am using the bq34z100-g1 to estimate SoC and SoH of the battery.

I have use the GPC tool to find the best CHEM ID, did the procedure shown in SLVA725 document (with bigger relaxing times) and this is the report

Chemistry ID selection tool, rev=2.42		
		
Configuration used in present fit:		
ProcessingType=2		
NumCellSeries=8		
ElapsedTimeColumn=0		
VoltageColumn=1		
CurrentColumn=2		
TemperatureColumn=3		
		
Best chemical ID : 414	Best chemical ID max. deviation, % : 5.59	
		
		
		
Summary of all IDs with max. DOD deviation below 15%		
		
Chem ID	max DOD error, %	Max R deviation, ratio
0	0	0
		
Max. deviations for best ID is within recommended range. Chosen best chemical ID is suitable for programming the gauge.		
		
		
Selection of best generic ID for ROM based devices like bq274xx		
		
		
Device / Family #1		
Generic Chem ID	Device/ Voltage/ Chemistry	max DOD error, %
354	bq27411-G1C: 4.35V LiCoO2	42.54
3142	bq27421-G1D: 4.4V LiCoO2	59.26
312	bq27421-G1B: 4.3V LiCoO2	97.59
128	bq27421-G1A: 4.2V LiCoO2	9936.53
Best generic ID 354		
Warning: Generic ID Deviation is so high that it is most likely due to anomaly in the data. Please check that data files have recomended format, units and test schedule		
		
		
Device / Family #2		
Generic Chem ID	Device/ Voltage/ Chemistry	max DOD error, %
1202	bq27621: (default) 4.2V LiCoO2	41.44
354	bq27621:  (ALT_CHEM2) 4.35V LiCoO2	42.54
1210	bq27621:  (ALT_CHEM1) 4.3V LiCoO2	48.22
Best generic ID 1202		
Warning: Generic ID Deviation is so high that it is most likely due to anomaly in the data. Please check that data files have recomended format, units and test schedule		
		
		
Device / Family #3		
Generic Chem ID	Device/ Voltage/ Chemistry	max DOD error, %
3230	bq27426: (default) 4.35V LiCoO2	30.79
1202	bq27426: (ALT_CHEM1) 4.2V LiCoO2	41.44
3142	bq27426: (ALT-CHEM2) 4.4V LiCoO2	59.26
Best generic ID 3230		
Warning: Generic ID Deviation is so high that it is most likely due to anomaly in the data. Please check that data files have recomended format, units and test schedule		
		
		
Warning: First OCVpoint has non-zero current I=  -0.003 Please make sure you have a 2 hr relaxation period before the beginning of discharge.		
Warning: Last OCVpoint has non-zero current I=  -0.002 Please make sure you have a 5 hr relaxation period after the end of discharge.		

I have some questions about it:

- I understand best chemical ID suites my LiFePO4 battery is 414. Is this correct?

- What about other Chem ID mentioned in the document for other devices (bq27411, bq27621, bq27426)? I have no intention of using any other device. 

Thanks,
