PRODUCTION DATA.
In this mode, the resistance of the capacitor will influence the end-of-service determination, but this does not impact the accuracy as the overall power delivery to the system is determined by the total resistance of the combined battery and capacitor. However, for the resistance to be updated to support the end-of-service feature, there needs to be a large enough delta in voltage between the open circuit voltage and the voltage under load. As the battery is discharged, the resistance increases and so the resistance at a state of charge of < 50% is the most important so that the accuracy will be optimized as the battery is in the second half of its service life.
The minimum delta voltage should be 100 mV to ensure there is no impact to the accuracy; therefore, the high load pulse current when the gauge is active should be:
High Load Pulse Current (mA) = 100 mV / Resistance of the battery and capacitor in parallel at 50% SOC.
