Remaining capacity estimation uses real-time mea-
sured values and stored parameters describing the cell
characteristics and application operating limits. Figure
11 describes the algorithm inputs and outputs.
To achieve reasonable accuracy in estimating remain-
ing capacity, the cell stack performance characteristics

point must be considered. Since the behavior of Li+
cells is nonlinear, these characteristics must be includ-
ed in the capacity estimation to achieve an acceptable
level of accuracy in the capacity estimation. The
FuelPack™ method used in the DS2788 is described in
general in Application Note 131: Lithium-Ion Cell Fuel
Gauging with Maxim Battery Monitor ICs . To facilitate
efficient implementation in hardware, a modified ver-
sion of the method outlined in AN131 is used to store
cell characteristics in the DS2788. Full and empty
points are retrieved in a lookup process that retraces
piece-wise linear model consisting of three curves
