In critical applications like very low temperatures with dynamic load, fuel gauges based on the Impedance Track™ algorithm may report a sudden state of charge (SOC) jump from several or tens of percent to zero towards the end of discharge, which causes system abruptly shut-down. This application report discusses the SOC jump issue, explains the possible root causes, and accordingly gives feasible solutions to eliminate it.
