BQ79616-Q1: BQ79616-Q1 Module Balancing

Part Number: BQ79616-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ79616

Tool/software:

Hello 

I am planning to build a 48S system by stacking BQ79616 modules. I intend to use GPIO3 to ensure balancing between the modules. 

1) Is the following diagram sufficient for module balancing?
Can the balancing control of GPIO3 be automatically managed by the BQ79616, or does it need to be controlled by the MCU?


2) For higher currents, is the following schematic correct for each BQ79616 module?


Thank you for your assistance
Best Regards
