Discharge Compensation
Corrections for the rate of discharge are made by adjust-
ing an internal discharge compensation factor. The dis-
charge factor is based on the dynamically measured VSR.
The compensation factors during discharge are:
Approximate
VSR Threshold
VSR < 50 mV
VSR1 > 50 mV
VSR2 > 100 mV
VSR3 > 150 mV
VSR4 > 253 mV

Temperature compensation during discharge also takes place.
At lower temperatures, the compensation factor increases by
0.05 for each 10°C temperature step below 10°C.
Comp. factor = 1.00 + (0.05 _* N)
Where N = number of 10°C steps below 10°C and
VSR < 50mV.
For example:
T > 10°C: Nominal compensation, N = 0
0°C < T < 10°C: N = 1 (i.e., 1.00 becomes 1.05)
-10°C < T < 0°C: N = 2 (i.e., 1.00 becomes 1.10)
-20°C < T < -10°C: N = 3 (i.e., 1.00 becomes 1.15)
-20°C < T < -30°C: N = 4 (i.e., 1.00 becomes 1.20)

This is the rate for a
battery within the 20–30°C temperature range (TMPGG
= 6x). This rate varies across 8 ranges from <10°C to
>70°C, doubling with each higher temperature step
(10°C). See Table 2

Error Summary
Capacity Inaccurate
The LMD is susceptible to error on initialization or if no up-
dates occur. On initialization, the LMD value includes the
error between the programmed full capacity and the actual
capacity. This error is present until a valid discharge oc-
curs and LMD is updated (see the DCR description on page
7). The other cause of LMD error is battery wear-out. As
the battery ages, the measured capacity must be adjusted
to account for changes in actual battery capacity.
A Capacity Inaccurate counter (CPI) is maintained and
incremented each time a valid charge occurs and is reset
whenever LMD is updated from the DCR. The counter
does not wrap around but stops counting at 255. The ca-
pacity inaccurate flag (CI) is set if LMD has not been
updated following 64 valid charges.
Current-Sensing Error
Table 3 illustrates the current-sensing error as a func-
tion of VSR. A digital filter eliminates charge and
discharge counts to the NAC register when VSRO (VSR +
VOS) is between -400µV and 500µV.
