Battery Low % should be set to match a capacity value that corresponds to the first or highest voltage
point, EDV2. It should be chosen where the capacity sensitivity to voltage is easily detectable. It is a non-
measured portion of the overall Learned Full Charge Capacity. If the target Battery Low % is changed
in the design, ensure that the initial value of DOD at EDV2 is also adjusted accordingly.
9.1.6 Qualified Discharge
A qualified discharge occurs if the battery discharges from RC ≥ FCC – Near Full to the EDV2 voltage
threshold with the following conditions:
• No valid charge activity occurs during the discharge period. A valid charge is defined as a charge of 10
mAh into the battery.
• No more than 256 mAh of self-discharge or battery load estimation occurs during the discharge period.
• The temperature does not drop below the low temperature thresholds programmed in Low Temp
during the discharge period.
• The battery voltage reaches the EDV2 threshold during the discharge period and the voltage is greater
than or equal to the EDV2 threshold minus 256 mV when the bq78350-R1 detected EDV2.
– When CEDV Gauging Configuration [VFLT_EN] is set, a filter is added to the EDV detection that
is set by CEDV Min Delta V to improve false triggering under pulsed load activity. If the latest
compensated EDV2 voltage changes by more than CEDV Min Delta V from the previously
calculated value, then the previous one is not updated.
• –Current() remains < Overload Current when EDV2 is reached.
• No overload condition exists when EDV2 threshold is reached, or if RC has dropped to Battery Low %
× FCC.

The bq78350-R1 sets [VDQ] = 1 in GaugingStatus() when a qualified discharge begins. The bq78350-R1
sets [VDQ] = 0 if any disqualifying condition occurs. One complication may arise regarding the state of
[VDQ] if [CSYNC] is set in CEDV Gauging Configuration. When [CSYNC] is enabled, RC is written to
equal FCC on valid primary charge termination. This capacity synchronization is done even if the condition
RC ≥ FCC – Near Full is NOT satisfied at charge termination.
FCC cannot be reduced by more than FCC Learn Down or increased by more than FCC Learn Up during
any single update cycle. The bq78350-R1 saves the new FCC value to the data flash within 4 s of being
updated.
