7.7.4 Ra Table Update Conditions

The impedance is different across different DOD states. The cell has 15 Ra grid points representing the impedance from 0%–100% DOD. In general, the Ra table is updated during discharge. The GaugingStatus()[RX] flag will toggle when the Ra grid point is updated. The Ra update is disabled if any of the following conditions are met. The GaugingStatus()[RDIS] is set to indicate the Ra update is disabled.

  • During the optimization cycle, the Ra update is disabled until QMax is updated (that is, Ra will not be updated if Update Status = 4).
  • The Ra update is disabled if the charge accumulation error > 5% of Design Capacity mAh.
  • During a discharge, a negative resistance is measured.

A valid OCV reading during RELAX mode or a Fast QMax update without an OCV read will clear the [RDIS] flag.

The configuration options related to Ra table updates are in the following data flash.

ClassSubclassNameTypeMinMaxDefaultUnitDescription
Gas GaugingIT CfgResistance Parameter FilterU216553565142—This is the filter coefficient on voltage, current, and temperature for resistance updates. Reducing this filter setting can improve low temperature performance at high rates. Examining the Term Voltage Delta setting and Fast Scale Start SOC should be done prior to adjusting this parameter when trying to improve the RSOC performance.
The following is the formula to convert the DF setting into actual filter time constant: Filter time constant = [1/(1 – (DF_Value /65536))] – 1.
Gas GaugingIT CfgMax Charge Current %U1010010%If AverageCurrent() changes by more than this threshold from the previous resistance measurement to the present, the present resistance measurement and Ra scale update are not used. This protects resistance measurements from voltage transients after step changes in current, especially transitions to relaxation.
Gas GaugingIT CfgResistance Update VoltageI203276750mVThe difference between the open circuit voltage based on DOD and the measured voltage is estimated as the IR drop. If this IR drop is greater than Resistance Update Voltage, then the resistance calculation is allowed. This can be helpful in applications with small battery packs and large resistances that do not meet the C/10 minimum current requirement for resistance updates.
Gas GaugingIT CfgRa FilterU209998000.1%Filter value used in Ra updates that specifies what percentage of the Ra update is from the new value (100%—setting) versus the old value (setting). The recommended setting is 80% if fast resistance scaling is enabled. Otherwise, the setting should be 50% as the default.
Gas GaugingIT CfgRa Max DeltaU1025515% of Design ResistanceMaximum value of allowed Ra change
Gas GaugingIT CfgDesign ResistanceI213276790mΩCell resistance at grid point 4. Automatically updated during learning when Update Status is set by the gauge to 06 and 0E. To automatically update again, set Update Status to 04. Design Resistance could be set manually when Update Status = 0E.
