BQ25820: Is the input current sense required to enable MPPT?

Part Number: BQ25820

Tool/software:

Hello,

I am limited by the 8A ACFET Switching limitation, and want to either remove the input current sense resistor, or configure the controller so that it the resistance is lower then I have configured in the register, to increase the switching current limitation. Will these actions have a negative effect on the MPPT feature of the part?
Cheers
