LM66100: Load Sharing with LM66100

Part Number: LM66100

Good day

I am currently designing a battery powered device that is expected to last 5 years in the field without battery maintenance. I am  Thinking of using LTC 17AH primary cells. I will however require 4 of these cells in parallel to reach the current capacity needed to power the device for 5 years.

in order to protect these LTC cells from potential reverse currents and share the load equally amoung the 4 cells i was thinking of using the LM66100, However i have not seen mention of the LM66100 being used for load sharing applications.

Would the following configuration allow load sharing between all the cells assuming the voltages are similar and protect form reverse currents if one cell is depleted. 

 

Kind Regards
