BQ24210: Cant this charger be used with a 2 cell Lipo Pack

James Davis3

Part Number: BQ24210

I was wondering if anyone had experience using this charger with a 2 cell lipo pack where the cells are in parallel. I assume that his would be fine since it would be like one large 1 cell battery.

Hi James,

As long as the capacity of the 2 batteries in parallel is below the charger's charge current x safety timer x 1.5 (to account for taper), I see no issue. Keep in mind the charger may reduce charge current from the set value if the input voltage droops.

Regards,

Jeff
