hello there,
I am working with Fuel Guage IC MAX17205, 

My hardware schematic design configuration is as per the primary cell implementation.

The battery voltage is measured from CellX Pin.
The Rsense resistor value is 0.01Ohm (10mOhm)

the reference hardware schematic,
https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/design/technical-documents/app-notes/6/6416.html

When I use 4 cells with 10mOhm resister on the CellX pin, the default value of the register 0x21h is 0x1105.

When I use 3 cells with 10mOhm resister on the CellX pin, the default value of the register 0x21h is 0x8809.

When I use 4 cells without 10mOhm resister on the CellX pin, the default value of the register 0x21h is 0x0809.

Can you suggest to me, how to configure MAX17205 for 4 cells pack to read the current, voltage, capacity of a battery?

I am using Panasonic AA (1.5V) 4S cells

Thanks

Hello,

I found an issue with power consumption in HALT mode with pin PC0_RESERVED_Pin. In your example, you work with PC0 as a reserved pin. If you send the system to sleep the first time everything is hood and the system has a consumption about 3 uA. After waking up and then going to sleep again, the power consumption increase to 2 mA per each other sleep. The problem is in pin PC0 (PC0_RESERVED_Pin). If I disable this pin sleeping works without a problem. The sigfox sending too.

Do you know the reason why the PCx reserved pins are activated? If I try to disable PC0, PC1, and PC2 everything works without problem (sleeping, sending, etc.).

Thank you very much for your answer.

Hello,

Described console input for adding ID and KEY has wrong bit order. The shoved behavior is for SDK in the master branch. Branch Version-1.6 changes bit order. It will be good to add a note to the tutorial.
