BQ34Z100-G1: problem with optimization cycle

Part Number:BQ34Z100-G1

Hello, 

I just ran my first test optimization cycle, but I noticed the OCVTAKEN bit in the Flags register did not set after the first charge cycle (see step 4 below). It was later determined that the battery was no good, but I am wondering if these two things are related. Here is my log file (see below). I ended the test early because the battery was determined to be bad, but I am wondering why the OCVTAKEN bit was not set. Here are the steps I was following.

1. Configure the dataflash with appropriate parameters suitable for your application; configure pack's chemistry and perform calibration;
2. Activate impedance track;
3. Charge the pack to charge termination;
4. Allow the pack to rest until the OCVTIAKEN flag sets;
5. Discharge the pack at a C/10 to C/5 rate to the Termination Voltage;
6. Allow the pack to rest until the OCVTAKEN flag sets. Qmax should update and Update Status should increment to 05;
7. Fully charge the pack to charge termination;
8. Allow the pack to rest until the OCVTAKEN flag sets;
9. Discharge the pack at a C/10 to C/5 rate to the Termination Voltage;
10. Allow the pack to rest until the OCVTAKEN flag sets. The Ra table should update and Update Status should increment to 06.
