Fast transients and multi-cell battery pack

Category: Hardware
Product Number: MAX17055

Hello, Im planning to use the MAX17055 on my new design, to keep track of the status of a not rechargable battery pack.

I have several questions:


The system that the battery supplies usually is in low power for around 900ms every second and it absorb around 200uA. When it "wakes" it absord around 30mA. Can this cause problem to the fuel gauge?

The battery pack is made with LiFePO4 cells in parallel (70Ah) with a Li cap battery (175mAh) can this cause problems for the estimation alghoritm?

Also i would like to know the daily average consumption of my battery is this possible?
