bq76PL536A: maximum current for cells using this battery monitor

Part Number: BQ76PL536A

We would like to use this part to monitor cell voltage and balance several li-ion cells (<6 cells).  We have a question about the current limitations for this part.  If we were to use a charge current of 30A for a string of cells in series, would this exceed any limits for this circuit?  We did not see any material mentioning maximum current for the cells or power supply.

    Hi Eric,

    As long as you follow our design recommendations and general best practices, our part should have no problem. It is a monitor, so it is "removed" from the high current path so to speak. Most problems we see come from noise coupling in from the charge/discharge currents.
