PRODUCTION DATA.
The default battery chemistry (Chem ID) is 1210, which is a Li-CoO2 type chemistry. The Chem ID should be updated using bqStudio to select the specific battery used in the application. See the application report, Using the bq78350-R1 (SLUA924) for details on selecting the Chem ID.
The default maximum capacity of the battery is 4400 mAh and this should be changed based on the cell and battery configuration chosen.
The CEDV gas gauging algorithm requires seven coefficients to enable accurate gas gauging. The default values are generic for Li-CoO2 chemistry, but for accurate gas gauging these coefficients should be re-calculated. The procedure to gather the required data and generate the coefficients can be found at http://www.ti.com/tool/GPCCEDV.
More details on the required steps to set up the bq78350-R1 device for gas gauging can be found in the application report, Using the bq78350-R1 (SLUA924).
