SLUUC54C February 2020 – March 2024 BQ27Z558 , BQ27Z561 , BQ27Z561-R2
There are three 32-byte manufacturer information blocks in data flash that record details related to the manufacture of a battery pack. The gauge does not use this data; it is available for the manufacturer to use and interpret the data. No formatting of data written in these blocks is imposed by the gauge firmware. These blocks can be accessed by either the regular data flash access methods or by using ManufacturerAccess() commands. See the entries for Manufacturer Data, Manufacturer Info B, and Manufacturer Info C in the Section 14.1 to AltManufacturerAccess() 0x007A ManufacturerInfoB access by Section 12.8.53.
The manufacturer information blocks can also be read or written when the gauge is in the UNSEALED mode, using the associated MACs AltManufacturerAccess() 0x0070 ManufacturerInfo and AltManufacturerAccess() 0x007B ManufacturerInfoC. AltManufacturerAccess() 0x007B ManufacturerInfoC can be used to write to manufacturer information block c when the gauge is sealed if [MFG_C_SEALED] is set in Settings.Configuration.I2C Configuration.
