BQ34Z100-G1: Gas gauging optimization at cold temps -30C

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

Hi Guys,

I have followed the slva725a.pdf "Simple Guide to Chemical ID Selection Tool (GPC)" .  I did this at room temperature ~22C.  I submitted the files and got back a good report to and gg.csv to upload to the unit.  I have verified that it is good at room temperature.  So, at normal temperatures I suspect this will work just fine from 0 to 50C.  

However, what should be done when extended temperatures are needed - Below 0C and greater than 50C?  Obviously, we won't be charging at those extremes, BUT, we would like to be able to discharge (use) the battery.

My company has worked with TI in the past to help with low temperature(-30C) operation on this same gas gauge.  My client now has a larger Ah pack that they would like to characterize.  I can't seem to find the info and or steps required to generate a good RA table for low temperature operation.  

My apologies, if this has already been asked.  It seems much harder to find information like this in the forums.
