2.1.3 Capacity Learning (FCC Update) and Qualified Discharge

The BQ27220 device updates FCC with an amount based on the value in the DCR if a qualified discharge occurs. The new value for FCC equals the DCR value plus the programmable Near Full and low battery levels, per the following equation:

FCC (new) = DCR (final) = DCR (initial) + Measured Discharge to EDV2 + (FCC × Battery_Low%)

Where Battery_Low % = (Battery Low % value in data flash) ÷ 100

A qualified discharge occurs if the battery discharges from RM ≥ FCC – Near Full to the EDV2 voltage threshold with the following conditions:

  • No valid charge activity occurs during the discharge period. A valid charge is defined as a charge of 10 mAh into the battery.
  • No more than 256 mAh of self-discharge or battery load estimation occurs during the discharge period.
  • The temperature does not drop below the low temperature thresholds programmed in Low Temp during the discharge period.
  • The battery voltage reaches the EDV2 threshold during the discharge period and the voltage is greater than or equal to the EDV2 threshold minus 256 mV when the BQ27220 device detected EDV2.
  • Current remains ≥ 3C/32 when EDV2 is reached.
  • No overload condition exists when EDV2 threshold is reached, or if RM has dropped to
    Battery_Low % × FCC.

The BQ27220 device sets [VDQ] = 1 in OperationStatus() when a qualified discharge begins. The BQ27220 device sets [VDQ] = 0 if any disqualifying condition occurs. One complication may arise regarding the state of [VDQ] if [CSYNC] is set in CEDV Gauging Configuration. When [CSYNC] is enabled, RemainingCapacity() is written to equal FullChargeCapacity() on valid primary charge termination. This capacity synchronization is done even if the condition RM ≥ FCC – Near Full is not satisfied at charge termination.

FCC cannot be reduced by more than 256 mAh or increased by more than 512 mAh during any single update cycle. If [FCC_LIMIT] is set in CEDV Gauging Configuration then FCC cannot learn above the Design Capacity mAh. The BQ27220 device saves the new FCC value to the data flash within 4 s of being updated.
