The Intel
®
 RAID Smart Battery AXXRSBBU4 is based on the Texas Instruments bq2060A SBS 
v1.1-compliant Gas Gauge IC*. The SBS v1.1 IC maintains an accurate record of the available 
charge. It monitors the amount of charge input in to or removed from the Intel
®
 RAID Smart 
Battery AXXRSBBU4 to determine the battery capacity.  
The bq2060A measures battery voltage, temperature, and current; estimates battery self-
discharge; and monitors the battery for low-voltage thresholds. It measures charge and 
discharge activity by monitoring the voltage across a small-value series sense resistor between 
the battery’s negative terminal and the negative terminal of the battery pack. The battery charge 
is determined by monitoring this voltage and correcting the measurement for environmental and 
operating conditions.  
See the Texas Instruments website for more information about the Texas Instruments bq2060A 
SBS v1.1-compliant Gas Gauge IC*.
