BQ24725A Input FETs necessary?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24725A

Hello

We are utilizing the BQ24725A in new charge control designs.  I know there are software settings that can adjust some safety settings for the ACFETs.  Is it possible to run this charge controller without the ACFETs?  Can I still charge batteries with these FETs shorted out?  Would this affect only Safety, or functionality as well?  

Thanks, Mike
