Suggest me a suitable IC
(OP)
Dear Engineers and Respected Members:
Can any body direct me to find a single IC or a any other arrangement as a single circuit that can charge, monitor, and test more than one Li-Ion battery at the same time (8.4 V and 12.6 V)?

Charging multiple lithium cells in series is not for the faint of heart. There are many safety aspects to be aware of. If you can use a single cell, or as Scotty says and charge them seperately, do it. It will save you a lot of headache.

You need separate controllers for eachbattery pack.
Or you will need to use a microcontroller and at least a man-month of time trying to get it right.
