Hi John,
Setting the [Bcast] bit in operation cfg B register in the data flash enables broadcast. The bq20z65 uses slave address 0x16 on SMB for communication.
Refer to section 2.5.1, 2.11.2 , 2.11.3 and 2.11.4 of the technical reference manual of the bq20z65 (this can be found on TI's website) for additional info as regards packet error checking and broadcasting.
thanks
Onyx
