nPM Fuel Gauge board

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

Guide to profile your batteries with nPM FG

Low power high accuracy fuel gauging tailored for embedded IoT

To accurately estimate the battery state-of-charge in percent, from 0 to 100 %, the nPM1300's fuel gauge functionality uses a virtual model of your battery along with the battery's temperature, voltage and the current measured by the PMIC. The estimation algorithm can then be run on any Arm Cortex M4 or M33, like those found in the nRF52, nRF53 and nRF91 Series and does not require additional hardware beyond this.  

The battery model is created by doing an analysis of your specific battery, in your own lab, with the help of the nPM1300 Evaluation Kit along with a dedicated nPM Fuel Gauge board.
