When reading nPackCfg register of MAX17205/MAX17215 to verify valid I2C communication, we got a different value from the default factory setting of 0x0A02. What might be going wrong?

It could be due to incorrect slave address being used. The internal register address assignments are shown in Table 27 on page 100 of the datasheet (Rev 2; 8/16), and is also included below.

If the internal memory address is less than 0xFF,  0x6C should be used as the slave address.
If the internal memory address is larger than 0xFF and smaller than 0x180, 0x16 should be used as the slave address. Register addresses 0x00 - 0x7F correspond to internal memory range 0x100 - 0x17F.
If the internal memory address is larger than 0x17F,  0x16 should be used as the slave address. Register addresses 0X80 - 0xFF correspond to internal memory range 0x180 - 0x1FF.

    The two I2C slave addresses for the MAX17205 are 0x6C and 0x16 as shown in Table 27 of the datasheet. Each address is used to access a separate portion of the internal memory.
