What do you mean by "they basically don't exist"? Solutions like the TI BQ25172 are designed exactly for this purpose.

- Liftyee 7mo agoI have done similar searches before. They do exist, but most dedicated ICs are targeted towards tightly-integrated cells or battery packs. The variety available is much smaller than for Li-ion batteries, and the ICs are more expensive. It seems like commercial multi-cell battery chargers mostly use custom microcontrollers to achieve this, instead of multiple charging ASICs.
