Can we configure two li-ion cells of 3.6v having 5000mAh capacity in parallel and charge them.? Is it a common practice ? Is it possible to balance the cells and charge them ?
Input a standalone charger - 5v2.5A.

Hi,
The charger IC does not cell balance on its own. You will need to use an external cell balancer if you require cell balancer. You can find cell balancing IC on ti.com
I was unable to find cell balance ic for a parallel cell combination.can you please give an example.

Here you can input your syste requirements in the parametric search tool. Once you find a part that fits, please create a separate post with that part number. We have a different team of experts on cell balance IC that can then help you
This Link mentions,cells are series'ly connected.I need to charge them in parallel configuration
If you connect 2 cells in parallel, then they will self-balance, because any unbalance would cause a current between the cells, auto-balancing them. Usually only series cell configuration require cell balancing. Regardless, please create a separate post regarding this. Tag a part number that does cell balancing, and it will auto assign the new thread to the team of experts supporting cell balancing circuits.
