Problems with connecting BQ34Z100, BQ24617 and battery?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ34Z100EVM, BQ24617, BQ34Z100

Hello,

I'm using BQ34z100 to monitor battery and BQ24617 to charge it. In BQ34z100EVM is manual how to connect BQ34z100 with charger.

I'm confused because PACK- is already on GND in BQ24617 and if we connect BAT- of bq34z100 on ground it will be short circuit and I think no current can be measured. Because of that I need confirmation of this connections. If I have BQ24617 and bq34z100 in one design, is GND in PACK - of BQ24617 the same as GND in bq34z100 datasheet or GND witch is connected in bq34z100 datasheet on BAT - is only referenced to minus battery voltage?

I have posted an example of this solution, is it OK?
