BQ79616-Q1: Schematic query for two BQ79616 chips in daisy chain

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

Tool/software:

Hi Team,

I am using two BQ79616 IC's in daisy chain, the communication between MCU and base IC is through level shift circuit using UART.

I am using a configuration for 24 cells in series (3.2V x 24).

In this configuration I am not using any isolation between MCU and BQ chip, in fact battery 

In this configuration the level shifter IC damaged two time and base level BQ IC damaged, I am not getting reason why this has happened.

I could not recreate the similar scenario again, need help to identify the issue. 

My schematic is as per below reference block diagram.
