The bq3060 is calibrated for voltage prior to shipping from TI. The bq3060 voltage measurement signal chain (ADC, high voltage translation, circuit interconnect) will be calibrated for each cell. The external filter resistors, connected from each cell to the VCx input of the bq3060, are required to be 1kΩ. The accuracy of the factory-calibrated devices is +/- 10mV per cell at room temperature at 4V cell voltage. Without any customer voltage calibration, this is the level of accuracy expected as long as the filter resistor value is 1kΩ. If better voltage accuracy is desired, customer voltage calibration is required. An application note on calibrating and programming the bq3060 is available in the product web folder. See Data Flash Programming and Calibrating the bq3060 Gas Gauge (SLUA502) for more details.
