LC709203F with 12ah Battery

Post by kevinv2 »

Hi im using the LC709203F with 12ah Battery (12000MHA) LiFePO4 Battery, on the setup page it says:

Pick the closest of the following values for your battery size:
LC709203F_APA_100MAH,
LC709203F_APA_200MAH,
LC709203F_APA_500MAH,
LC709203F_APA_1000MAH,
LC709203F_APA_2000MAH,
LC709203F_APA_3000MAH,

Do i pick LC709203F_APA_3000MAH? it's nowhere close to the actual battery size

thanks

Use the largest setting, then track any difference between the sensor's output and the actual battery condition.

The fact that there are multiple settings implies different behavior as the storage capacity of the battery increases.

Somewhat related, I'm using the pid4712 with one of your 6600mAh lipo packs... I went to look up the LC709203F but all I could find was a LC709204F datasheet. In there, they list support for battery types up to 6000mAh with codes that differ a bit from your Circuit Python definitions for the 203....

Is the LC709204F significantly different from the LC709203F? If so, where might we find a LC709203F datasheet?
