Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQSTUDIO, , GPCCHEM, EV2400
Hi,
i am trying to understand the whole thing in english (I am from germany) and there are some question about the Quick Start Guide:
1. Why do I need a DC power supply that can supply 50V and 3A (2.1 Items Needed for EVM Setup and Evaluation) ? I can't find anything about this (where to plug in?) in the Quick Start Guide
2. In 3.2.1 Cell Configuration: There are 2 paragraphs with the same sentence "For packs where the stack voltage is less than 5 V". I think one of them should be called "more than 5 V"?
3. I've got a Batterypack with 8x Eneloop 1.2 V Batteries in Series in it (When the Batterie are full, they have around 11 V and 750 mAh).
- So I have to plug the "+" to the "TB3-Bat +" and the "-" to the "TB3-Bat -"?
- What's with the "PACK -" and "Load & Charger"?
- Is this the part where I can add my Resistor to simulate an 1 Ampere Load?
- So At around 11 V with 1 Ampere i need 11 Ohm Resistor? (Or do I have to choose a different resistor -> see Question 4.3.2)
- What is the "Protection"? Do you have an example or a item for me?
4. Because we are using eneloop NiMH Batteries which are not in the ChemID, I have to follow the GPCCHEM tool.
- So i charge the Batterie to full (with or without the BQ34Z100EVM and BQStudio?),
- wait 5 hours (with or without the BQ34Z100EVM and BQStudio?),
- Discharge at C/20 rate
- (with the BQ34Z100EVM and BQStudio to see when the the minimal voltage has been reached?),
- What is C/20 rate? (11 V (meassured), 750mAh, 8*1,2 V in Series) Do I have to use a 333 Ohm in "Load" so it takes around 20 hours to discharge?
- 5 hrs relax (with or without the BQ34Z100EVM and BQStudio?)?
If someone wants to answer these questions in german, I would be happy. If not, then I'll try my best to understand it in english.
Thanks for your help
