BQ79606A-Q1: monitoring cells connected in parallel

Part Number: BQ79606A-Q1

Hello Team,

I have a very basic question on cell balancing circuit.

For a 48V system, one of my customer is planning to use 14S24P configuration. Can they use a single channel of BQ79606 to monitor all 24 cells in parallel? then only 3 devices are needed. However, if one of the cell goes bad, they won't be able to figure our location of faulty cell.

or is it necessary to have individual channel of BQ79606 across each cell. that will require 3X24 devices, which is very huge.

Thanks in advance,

Mahendra
