bq24171 charge timeout

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24171

Hi,

I have a design working with the bq24171 and have set the charger timeout to 20 hours and it seems to work fine, but I have recently noticed that the datasheet states that the timeout should be a maximum of 10hours.

I have only tested the timeout function on one unit.

I would like to know why there is a 10hour max? and what are the risks in using a longer timeout?
