PRODUCTION DATA.
The BQ35100 device is designed to work in a system where there is a period discharge pulse of at least 10 s of mA for 10 s of ms. In ACC mode, any pulse can be measured based on the information the host requires. However, in EOS modes, the battery condition does not change very fast so only pulses that are many hours apart; for example, 24 hours, are needed.
If the time between pulses needing monitoring is less than a minute, then it is recommended not to power down the device. However, if the period is greater than 5 hours, then powering down the device between pulses is expected. Periods in between risk not allowing the battery to rest and any EOS-related data may be compromised. Battery EOS OCV BAD Warning provides more information on this.
The shorter the period between pulses has a large effect of the overall cumulative power consumption of the battery electronics. See Device Functional Modes for more details on average power consumption.
