| ACK | Acknowledge character |
| ADC | Analog-to-digital converter |
| BCA | Board calibration |
| BI | Battery insert |
| CC | Coulomb counter |
| CCA | Coulomb counter calibration |
| CE | Chip enable |
| CHARGE Mode | Refers to a mode to where the gauge read Current() > Chg Current Threshold for at least 1 second. |
| Clear | Refers to a bit in a register becoming a logic LOW or 0. The Battery Management Studio (BQStudio) software represents a clear bit with the color green. |
| cWh | Centiwatt-hour |
| CMT | Current measurement time |
| DISCHARGE Mode | Refers to a mode where the gauge read Current() < (–)Dsg Current Threshold for at least 1 second. |
| DOD | Depth of discharge in percent as related to Qmax. 100% corresponds to empty battery. |
| DOD0 | Depth of discharge that was looked up in the DOD (OCV) table based on OCV measurement in relaxed state. |
| EOC | End of charge |
| FC | Fully charged |
| FCC | Full charge capacity. Total capacity of the battery compensated for present load current, temperature, and aging effects (reduction in chemical capacity and increase in internal impedance). |
| FIFO | First in, first out |
| Flag | This word usually represents a read-only status bit that indicates some action has occurred or is occurring. This bit typically cannot be modified. The flags are set and cleared automatically by the fuel gauge. |
| FVCA | Fast voltage and current acquisition |
| GPIO | General-purpose input output |
| HDQ | High-speed data queue |
| IC | Integrated circuit |
| ID | Identification |
| IO | Input or output |
| I2C | Inter-integrated circuit |
| LDO | Low dropout |
| LSB | Least significant bit |
| LT | Lifetime |
| MAC | Manufacturer Access Control |
| mAh | Milliamp-hour |
| MSB | Most significant bit |
| mWh | Milliwatt-hour |
| NACK | Negative acknowledge character |
| NTC | Negative temperature coefficient |
| OCV | Open-circuit voltage. Voltage measured on fully-relaxed battery with no load applied. |
| OTC | Overtemperature in charge |
| OTD | Overtemperature in discharge |
| PFC | Pin function code |
| POR | Power-on reset |
| Qmax | Maximum chemical capacity |
| QC | Qualification and calculation |
| QT | Qualification time |
| RELAXATION Mode | Refers to a mode to where the gauge read Current() < Quit Current for at least 60 seconds. |
| RM | Remaining capacity |
| RW | Read or write |
| SCL | Serial clock: programmable serial clock used in the I2C interface |
| SDA | Serial data: serial data bus in the I2C interface |
| SE | Shutdown enable |
| Set | Refers to a bit in a register becoming a logic HIGH or 1. The Battery Management Studio (BQStudio) software represents a set bit with the color red. |
| SOC | State-of-charge in percent related to FCC |
| SOC1 | State-of-charge initial |
| SOCF | State-of-charge final |
| System | The word system is sometimes used in this document. When used, it always means a host system that is consuming current from the battery pack. |
| TCA | Terminate charge alarm |
| TMT | Temperature measurement time |
| TS | Temperature status |
| TTE | Time-to-empty |
| TTF | Time-to-full |
| VIT | Voltage, current, temperature |
| VMT | Voltage measurement time |
