VCLX NM2 Firmware 2.1
Battery Health Tracking.
In the advanced menu, when you navigate to ‘System Info’, you’ll now find a timestamped value indicating the last completed learning cycle. A learning cycle is a full discharge of the unit from 100% to 0%, providing useful insights for tracking battery health over time.
It’s important to note that consistently performing partial discharges may affect the battery’s ability to accurately monitor its health. If a full discharge is not recorded within 60 days, the battery will prompt a calibration cycle. While not mandatory, incomplete discharges will be marked with an asterisk, indicating potential accuracy variations in capacity measurement.
For VCLXN NM2 owners our recommendation is that a full discharge is implemented at least once every 60 days to ensure the fuel gauge is 100% accurate to reflect the batteries health capacity.
New Features.
- Added back button to user interface (UI) menus.
- Increased robustness of USB field updates by validating entire image before attempting to update.
- Added toggling between battery % and time to empty (TTE) when discharging.
- Added Anton/Bauer (AB) cycles to allow tracking of partial cycles.
- Anton/Bauer (AB) battery health to accurately track the discharge capacity of the unit. NOTE: If the discharge load is low enough and the unit is fully discharged to 0/1% Relative State of Charge (RSOC) and then the unit is plugged into a charger, the Anton/Bauer (AB) battery health will be updated.
- Added ability to prematurely exit built in self test (BIST).
- Added fuel gauge communication error to the fault module.
