Current Calibration

The Board Offset calibration option is not offered in Battery Management Studio, because the Board Offset calibration is not required when using the BQ41Z50EVM.

  • Connect and measure a -2A current source from 1N (–) and Pack– (+) to calibrate without using the FETs. (TI does not recommend calibration using the FETs).
  • Enter –2000 in the Applied Current field and select the Calibrate Current box.
  • Press the Calibrate Gas Gauge button to calibrate.
  • Deselect the Calibrate Current box after current calibration has completed.
Note:

Current can also be calibrated using the FETs. Measure the current in the discharge path and enter this value in the Applied Current field.
