2.2.3.3 Current Calibration

The Board Offset calibration option is not offered in Battery Management Studio, because this is not required when using the bq40z80EVM. The Board Offset calibration option is available in bqProduction.

  • Connect and measure a 2A current source from 1N (–) and Pack– (+) to calibrate without using the FETs. (TI does not recommend calibration using the FETs.)
  • Enter –2000 in the Applied Current field and select the Calibrate Current box.
  • Press the Calibrate Gas Gauge button to calibrate.
  • Deselect the Calibrate Current box after current calibration has completed.
Note:

Current can also be calibrated using the FETs. Measure the current in the discharge path and enter this value in the Applied Current field.
