1 Tool Summary

The Gauging Parameter Calculator (GPC) Golden GG Maker is a calculation tool that helps the battery designer to select the best chemical ID for a given battery to use with impedance track gauges.

The battery pack must use one of TI’s Impedance Track algorithm-based fuel gauges. The pack requires a log file of a charge / relaxation / discharge / relaxation test that is created with various test equipment such as Maccor or Arbin battery testers or with TI’s Battery Management Studio (bqStudio) software with an evaluation board that connects through USB.

This guide describes how to obtain the required log file without using a TI EVM or TI bqStudio software.
