I CANNOT USE nPM 2100 EK WITH CR2023

[Luiz Miranda]

Hello

nPM Power UP v 2.24 detects nPM2100 EK, but does not detect the CR2032 battery.
The active battery model selected is CR2032 and the fuel gauge is enabled.

I placed the CR2032 in the battery holder and connected it to Battery Input Connector on EK.

Two LEDs light up side by side: a red LED and a yellow LED.

I tested it with SW5 for VEXT and VBAT.

I have read this link.www.nordicsemi.com/.../Get-started

Hi Luiz,

what you described indicates that the charge level of the battery is low. Can you verify that the battery has full charge, is it a new battery?

[Luiz Miranda]

I will check the battery level.
I need to perform tests where the nPM2100 EK powers the VOUT pin (TW1) only with the CR2032.

Will the USB connection only be used for monitoring via the nPM Power UP?

[Szabolcs]

Yes, if the switch is in the VBAT position, then the nPM will be powered by the battery. The USB will only power the controller MCU which monitors the nPM.
