Power Validation
Check for continuity between cell inputs, balance inputs, 3 V, 5 V, fused VBAT+ and fused VBAT-. All of these nets should be isolated from each other.
Connect the AFE to 12 cells in series, OR connect a power supply between VBAT+ and VBAT-. The power supply can be set to about 30 V with a current limit of about 100 mA.
