How do I calculate the LSB of the QH/QL registers on the MAX17262R

Category: Datasheet/Specs
Product Number: MAX17262R, MAX17262

I've been trying to use the MAX17262R with an LiSOCL2 battery, as it was mentioned that it was possible in this thread  RE: MAX17262 INI model for LiSoCl2 .

According the the thread above I can follow the application note for primary cell's for the MAX17201 fuel gauges. According to the application note I should expect the LSB on the QL register to be;

LSB=5*uVh/Rsense/2^16

LSB=5/(7x10^-3)/2^16=0.010899135

So according to this I should expect that the LSB for the QL register should be 0.010899135mAh? So if I see a 100 count change in the QL register I would expect that to be 1.09mAh?

The reason I'm questioning this is when I apply this LSB to the difference in count over a period of time it disagree's with the Nordic PPK2 by ~2 orders of magnitude. So it seems like I've gone wrong in my calculations somewhere. How do I calculate this correctly?

Some other useful notes;

- When I check the instantaneous average current or Vcell register the values seem to make sense and agree with the Nordic PPK2, so it seems like it's a problem with my calculations not the hardware.
