There is an Asus X550 battery on a BQ20Z95 chip.
The tester does not discharge to 0%
Help solve the problem.
Screenshots attached.
6 pieces of such batteries, with such a defect.
Are the batteries china clones?
Discharge has been cut off because cells have reached 2.9v and at this stage SOC should already 0%.
Did you run proper calibration cycles required for impedance tracking gauges?
because cells have reached 2.9v
cells voltages dropped under the load even lower to unsafe 2.5v level, then chip stopped discharge
2.9 is a voltage at the cursor position
Me pretty sure cells capacity is below FCC value, about 8...10% less then it.

Yes i missed this.

For sure.
Batteries are not original, copies. But they have a chip that the tester can work with.
I thought the tester could solve the problem ?
The calibration process successfully completes the charging process to 100%, but stops on the process - discharging, gives an error, cannot discharge to 0%.
Can you write what actions need to be taken so that the calibration is successful ?

The problem is with cells which not have declared design capacity. Thats why discharge to 0% not possible and tester could not solve cells issues. It looks like battery manufacturer installed cheap low quality cells with less capacity then declared.
Could you paste a picture from Calibration tab to check a capacity measured by tester ?
So as it was expected, cells not have declared capacity.
Instead of 2500mAh they have 1717mAh only.
FCC is overestimated and chip shut down a battery output to prevent cells damage thats why discharge to 0% not possible.
You could try to relearn the chip for real capacity.

How to do it ?
Now MaxError = 1 %
How to do it ?
- Charge the battery to 100%
- Disconnect Vbat wire
- Let it relax for at least 2 hours
- Connect back Vbat wire
- Discharge the battery to 3.0v per cell, dont allow the Tester to drain a battery to 2.45v, stop discharge manually as soon as 3.0v on any cell reached
- Disconnect Vbat wire
- Let it relax for at least 5 hours
- Connect back Vbat wire
- Charge the battery to 100%

Thank you.
The question arises, does the tester not work out the set limit for a discharge of 3 Volts?
Screenshot attached.
No, discharge should be stopped manually, otherwise tester could drain the cells below safe limits.

I got it. Why is 3000 mV set in the tester? The tester ignores this value and discharges the cells below 3000 mV.
