The HGATE design for U1 includes two back-to-back NFETs (Q2 and Q11). Q11 was added to the design to prevent any current from flowing from the batteries to the VIN_FLT rail when the batteries are connected to the system. When only Q2 is placed and (V_SYS > VIN_PROT + 0.8 V) a current is conducted through the body diode of Q2. This allows a current loop to form between the output of both BQ25731 devices and the input of the BQ25731 devices.
