Need help understanding the registers in particular the CRATE register 0x16

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: MAX17048

As I understand this it is supposed to give the percentage of the rate of change of SOC both charging and discharging.

Do I need to get 16 bits from that register location?

I'm using a 2000 mAh LiPo charging at 526 mA. When it's charging I see a value of approximately 12%. When I disconnect the external power and the device starts running on the battery that value starts going toward zero then goes to a large number such as 13613%.

Just trying to understand how this register is to be interpreted.

Thanks. Don
