BQ2970: Parallel Battery operation

Part Number: BQ2970

Hi Team,

I have a customer who wants to use two battery packs, each protected by the BQ29700 as shown below:

Would a configuration like this work?

Regards

  • Hi Mihir,
    This is an overkill. Their protection settings has to be exactly the same, but you know the response time of the devices may differ slightly and you may have a situation of one turning off while the other is still on in the event of a safety condition. I wouldn't recommend doing this.
    thanks
