nPM Fuel Gauge Board - Development tools

Hardware tool to profile batteries to be used for fuel gauge

The nPM Fuel Gauge board (nPM FG) connects to a compatible Nordic Semiconductor evaluation kit. The purpose of the board is to act as a constant current sink device during battery profiling with nPM PowerUP desktop software. The battery model generated in nPM PowerUP can be used for evaluation of fuel gauge in nPM PowerUP and exported as an include file for use in any application using the Nordic Fuel Gauge algorithm.

To use the nPM Fuel Gauge board you also need a compatible evaluation kit

Currently supported kits:

nPM1300 Evaluation Kit

Desktop software

nPM PowerUP

nPM PowerUP is a desktop application for controlling the nPM1300 Evaluation Kit (EK). Once connected to an EK, the app gives full control over the adjustable settings of the nPM1300 PMIC. Using the included battery models, you can also get an estimated time-to-full and time-to-empty when charging or discharging a battery connected to the EK.

nPM PowerUP is found inside nRF Connect for Desktop.

nRF Connect for Desktop

nRF Connect for Desktop is a cross-platform framework for development applications. It contains applications for testing Bluetooth Low Energy and LTE links, power optimization, programming and more.
