Hi,
I knew that DA14680 use fuel gauge to check the battery remaining power. Will this fuel gauge unit consumes a lot of power, if I turn it on for a very long time? How should I use this fuel gauge in battery power checking in this DA14680? e.g. how frequent should I turn this on or off? or which cases or scenarios should I turn it on or off? I am thinking of, how to get a balance between the accuracy of the battery remaining power and the power drained by the fuel gauge unit.
Thanks!

Hi frankychan,
There aren't any officially available information regarding the fuel gauge since this is still a work in progress, and currently the fuel gauge can be used only when the device is not in sleep mode. We are planning in releasing additional drivers that will handle this module in application level since currently it requires quite some application development from the end user in order to implement this functionallity accuratelly and efficiently. At the moment the fuel gauge is not used by the SDK and its function is quite limited in measuring only when not in sleep, as i ve mentioned, so its impact in power consumption is not estimated yet.
