BQ78PL116: Alternatives to BQ78PL116

Part Number: BQ78PL116
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ76PL102, , BQ76952

Hello

I'm looking for an efficient cell balancing device like the duo BQ78PL116 with multiple BQ76PL102 for a 16 cell balancing (which suits perfect for my application). Kindly let me know any other alternative IC's for 16 series cell balancing @ 1A.

  • Hello Anjan,

    I'm not aware of any gauges that can perform this for a 16s application.

    Some of our monitors can perform cell balancing on 16s packs, but it is passive cell balancing.

    You can take a look at the bq76952 and this app note for more information on the monitors balancing and if it will work for your application: www.ti.com/.../sluaa81.pdf

    Sincerely,

    Wyatt Keller
