Load Mode configures the fuel gauge to use either a constant-current or constant-power model for the Impedance Track algorithm. When Load Mode is 0, the Constant Current Model is used. This provides a better estimation of remaining run time, especially close to the end of discharge where current increases to compensate for decreasing battery voltage. When Load Mode is 1 (default), the Constant Power Model is used. The CONTROL_STATUS [LDMD] bit reflects the status of Load Mode.

Load Select is used in conjunction with Load Mode to define the type of load model that computes the load-compensated capacity in the Impedance Track algorithm.

Load Select defines the type of power or current model to be used to compute load-compensated capacity in the Impedance Track algorithm. By default, Load Select is set to 1, which means the IT algorithm will use a running average of the current discharge period. Once the discharge stops, the algorithm stores the average in data flash as the Avg I Last Run and Avg P Last Run variables. For simulations during RELAXATION, CHARGE, and at the start of DISCHARGE (since a new average has not been gathered), it would use data flash values for simulations. Once the discharge has lasted 500 seconds, the gauge re-simulates using the new running average. Thereafter, during discharge, it uses the continuous running average for any subsequent simulations.
