BQ25616, BQ25616J BMS026 Evaluation Module
measure the voltage at the BAT pin. When using 4-wire sensing, always ensure that the sensing leads
are connected in order to prevent accidental overvoltage by the power leads
•
For precise measurements of input and output currents, especially battery charging current regulation
near termination, the current meter in series with the battery or battery simulator should not be set to
auto-range and may need be removed entirely. An alternate method for measuring charge current is to
either use an oscilloscope with hall effect current probe or by a differential voltage measurement
across the relevant sensing resistors populated on the BMS026 EVM.
