BQ40Z60 application needs power when no cells are present

Hello,

      We are using the BQ40Z60 as the BMS for our portable application and we have some customers who would like to use our product with the power supply permanently attached.  In this case we would like to remove the cells from the pack as a cost reduction, and use the BQ40Z60 as a power switch.  Is it possible to do this?

Thanks,

Kris
