BQ40Z50-R2: ChemID 0414 is available on R1 but missing on R2

Part Number: BQ40Z50-R2
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ40Z50-R1, GPCCHEM, BQSTUDIO

Hello, TI Team: We are developing a battery pack based on the BQ40Z50-R2.

Our battery pack is a 4S1P 8Ah lithium iron phosphate battery pack.

We tested the cells using GPCCHEM and found that ChemID 0414 (found in the BQ40Z50-R1 chemistry database) has an extremely high match with our cells, with very low DOD-related errors.

However, our project requires IATA transport mode functionality, therefore we must use the BQ40Z50-R2 firmware.

The problem is that ChemID 0414 cannot be found in the BQ40Z50-R2 chemistry database in bqStudio.

I have tried using the latest stable and beta versions of Battery Management Studio, but the problem persists. The chemistry version is the latest, 1251.

Our questions are:

1. Could you please release ChemID 0414 for the BQ40Z50-R2? Or

2. Can you provide the BQ40Z50-R2 firmware (.srec file) containing ChemID 0414?

Project Information:

- Device Model: BQ40Z50-R2

- Cell Chemistry: Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery (LiFePO4)

- Configuration: 4 Series 1 Parallel (4S1P)

- Capacity: 8Ah

- Required Functionality: IATA Transport Mode

  • 已经收到了您的案例,调查需要些时间,感谢您的耐心等待。

  • 可以参考TI 电量计应用指导中的描述:

    在BQSTUDIO的Chemistry窗口用来选择电芯化学ID导入到电量计。 对于支持Turbo Mode功能的电量计比如BQ40Z50-R2,其Chemistry窗口默认只 显示支持Turbo Mode的化学ID,如果需要显示其他不支持Turbo Mode的化学ID, 请勾选Include chemistry IDs that do not support Turbo Mode 2。 点击Chemistry ID一栏,即可按照ID号顺序排列ID。 选中目标ID号,点击Program Selected Chemistry按钮即可把该ID的数据导入到 电量计。
