BQ24295: Charging for parallel connected battery

Kazuto Tatsumi

Part Number: BQ24295
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25606Hello,

Can BQ24295 and BQ25606 charge for li-ion battery (18650) connected in parallel?

If so, is it possible to be controlled the same as single cell?

Hey Kazuto,

You want to use either the BQ24295 or the BQ25606 to charger a 1S2P li-ion battery, correct?

If so, there is no problem charging parallel battery packs. Ususally, li-ion will self-balance the charge between two parallel cells.
