Inquire of cell# limitation of LTC4010

Question

Hello, 
 We plan to apply a 24V battery using 20 cells of 1.2V Ni-cd battery. 
 It is confirmed that 1 to 16 cells are supported on the LTC4010 Datasheet. 
 Please check if it is possible to use 20 cells and If you have any considerations for use, please ask for a guide. 
 
 Regards,

Hello, 
 16 is the max number of cells for the LTC4010. We do not have a dedicated NiCd charger that can do 20 cells. 
 We do have some generic chargers that will work such as the LT3652HV, but note that these do not have termination that is recommended for fast-charging nickel batteries (ndV, deltaT, etc).
