Hi everyone,

We're working on a project where we need to manage and charge a 3S Li-ion battery pack. I'm looking for a solution that can be directly implemented into the development hardware, preferably something that includes:

 - Charging functionality with balancing for the 3S configuration.
 - Discharge cutoff to protect the batteries from over-discharge.

also, the batteries will be placed inside soldered sockets.

Does anyone know of any ICs or ready-to-use circuits/modules that could meet these requirements? Alternatively, are there any schematic designs or reference circuits you’d recommend? I'm open to either standalone ICs or integrated solutions.

Any advice, part numbers, or design ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

A quick search on mouser leaded to TI's BQ77915. This is a protection & balancing IC, so you'll want an external charger IC that works for 3S.

As for why not all in a single chip, this might answer:

explain in the category of TI's battery management ICs,

Battery charger ICs, as the name implies, only charge the battery. Protection to the battery is minimal.
https://www.ti.com/battery-management/charger-ics/overview.html

Battery monitors & balancers are the same ics as those built into laptop batteries and provide comprehensive protection for the battery.
Protection against overdischarge, overcharge, overheating, tampering, etc. Charging functionality is not built in, charger IC is required.

Battery protectors does not have a coulomb counter (fuel gauge) or tamper protection like laptop battery.
but it provides the minimum necessary protection, protection against overcharge, overdischarge, and overheating.
of course, a charge IC is required.

It depends on the functionality you require.
