Profile Battery test configuration
See the tooltips for more information about each of the options.To perform the battery profiling with the nPM1300 EK, you need the nPM Fuel Gauge Board. See Profiling a battery with nPM PowerUP for more information.
Active Battery Health Profile This option is only available for nPM1300 and nPM1304 devices.

Save the battery health state of the fuel gauge algorithm, or overwrite it with a previously saved state.

The battery health profile is a state linked to each battery model stored on the EK. Each time the active battery model is changed, the battery health profile also changes. If a new battery is profiled and loaded as a new model to the device and then selected, a new battery health state is initialized for that model.
