How Fuel Gauge SOC From Voltage works

Estimate fuel-gauge state of charge by linear interpolation between user-supplied empty and full open-circuit voltages; chemistry, load, and temperature can make this inaccurate. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

State Of Charge (%) (%)
The resulting state of charge (%) returned as a number.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Battery capacity, state of charge, runtime, and aging depend on chemistry, temperature, discharge profile, cutoff voltage, cell balance, charge method, rate capability, self-discharge, and prior history. Nominal amp-hour or watt-hour ratings do not guarantee usable energy under every load.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.
