There is a too high voltage difference such as, with the highest cell voltage at
4.22V, the lowest cell voltage is below 3.9V. But as the BQ waits for ALL cells to be > than 3.9V (The minimum cell voltage to balance).Here, cell 6 have been unbalanced of 1250mAh above others.
ChargeFSM algorithm is oscillating between Charge And Balance & Rebalance state very slowly, but is never balancing the cells (as lowest cell is < 3.9V).
It’s not dangerous, but the battery is just not charging.FSM details

Short term solution:
Reduce minimum cell voltage of
3.9V to 3.7V-3.8VAdd a charge timeout.
Long term solution
Write ourselves a balancing algorithm. Then instead to have a minimum cell voltage for all cells, we could have this minimum voltage cells per cells.
