The Texas Instruments bq27425 system-side LiCoO2 battery fuel gauge is an easy to configure microcontroller peripheral that provides fuel gauging for single-cell LiCoO2 battery packs. The device requires minimal user configurations and system microcontroller firmware development for accurate fuel gauging.
The bq27425 uses the patented Impedance Track™ algorithm for fuel gauging, and provides information such as remaining battery capacity (mAh), state-of-charge (%), and battery voltage (mV).
Battery fuel gauging with the bq27425 requires only PACK+ (P+), PACK– (P–), for a removable battery pack or embedded battery circuit. The 15-pin 2,69 × 1,75 mm, 0.5 mm pitch CSP package is ideal for space constrained applications.

Requires: EV2400 or MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300
Software installer to enable BQEVSW to use MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300
Software manifest
Description:
BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE software is a software update for BQEVSW (bq Evaluation Software) and BQEASY (bq EV-Easy) to allow it to work with the MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300 MKS Technology alternative for EV2300 communications transceiver. This update installs a program that allows switching the USB transceiver target in software like BQEVSW and BQEASY from/to EV2300 to/from MKST-3P-ALT-EV2300.
The program requires administrator privileges.
Requirements:
Features:
Getting started:
1. Download the software
2. Run the installer and check the option to create shortcuts
3. Run the program using shortcut named BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE from Start menu/Desktop
4. Allow administrator privilege when/if prompted
5. On the GUI window that opens, select the target transceiver to support and follow steps to switch
6. Connect matching transceiver and start BQEVSW, BQEASY or other similar software.
Note: BQMTESTER-MKST-UPDATE and BQEVSW-MKST-UPDATE both update the same software components. Switching the USB transceiver using any of these shortcuts will also switch it in the other.
