The voltage, current, and temperature values read from MAX17201, MAX17205, MAX17211, MAX17215 are correct, but the RepSOC is always 1.0%. Why is that?

 
The tips below may be helpful:
1. When configuring the registers, the battery cannot be charging or discharging as OCV estimation takes place after the setup. If there is any current during that period, the OCV may be incorrect, introducing error to RepSOC.

2. For multi-cell battery, the battery capacity is related to the number of cells connected in parallel, not the batteries connected in series. For example, for 2600mAh cell connected in 3S1P, the capacity of the battery pack is still 2600mAh. It is not 2600*3 =7800mAh.

  • How do I obtain battery capacity using MAX17201,MAX17211, MAX17205, MAX17215?
    MSDAPI
    The absolute(mAh) or relative(in %) capacity of the battery can be obtained by reading the RepCap (005h) register (reported capacity) or RepSOC (006h) register. (reported SOC).
  • Can I measure battery cells in series/parallel for use with fuel gauges?
    MSDAPI
    Yes. Series and parallel combinations of batteries should be the same battery model. Two parallel batteries look like a single battery with twice the capacity of the batteries that make it up. Depending...
  • Can MAX17215 be powered separately from a source other than the battery it is gauging?
    MSDAPI
    VBATT pin is Power supply input as well as Battery voltage sense input. External bias to MAX17215 is not possible.
