Full

The full curve defines how the full point of a given cell
depends on temperature for a given charge termina-
tion. The application’s charge termination method
should be used to determine the table values. The
DS2775–DS2778 reconstruct the full line from cell char-
acteristic table values to determine the full capacity of
the battery at each temperature. Reconstruction occurs
in one-degree temperature increments.

Active Empty

The active-empty curve defines the variation of the
active-empty point over temperature. The active-empty
point is defined as the minimum voltage required for
system operation at a discharge rate based on a high-
level load current (one that is sustained during a high-
power operating mode). This load current is
programmed as the active-empty current (IAE), and
should be a 3.5s average value to correspond to values
