Forum Post: RE: Stacking single cell chargers

Hello Edward,

No, these chargers can not be stacked. They are inherently buck regulators and will need a consistent ground between the input source the battery cathode (negative terminal).

Most of TI's chargers are configured to step the input voltage down to the battery voltage.

With a 5V input you would first need a boosting stage to create an intermediate rail at a voltage above the stacked regulation voltage of your pack. The next stage should be one of the many multi-cell chargers that TI has available.

I would recommend looking into the WEBENCH tool to design the boosting stage:

The using the parametric search select the right multi-cell charger:
