SLUUBD4A April 2016 – November 2022 BQ27220
The EDV Age Factor allows the BQ27220 device to correct the EDV detection algorithm to compensate for cell aging. This parameter scales cell impedances as the cycle count increases. This new factor is used to accommodate for much higher impedances observed in larger capacity and/or aged cells. For most applications, the default value of zero is sufficient. However, for some very specific applications, this new aging factor may be required. In those cases, experimental data must be taken at the 0, 100, 200, and 300 cycle read points using a typical discharge rate while at ambient temperature. Entering this data into a TI provided MathCAD™ program will yield the appropriate EDV Age factor value.
