While the BQ769x2 device family allows the user to balance all (up to 16) cells at once, is not recommended. Depending on the balancing current, this can cause a large temperature rise within the chip. Is important to consider the thermal budget while defining the balancing algorithm. Is suggested to balance every other cell at a time to limit power dissipation.
