What in heck is the Cell Balancer function all about?
*Simply put, this monitors voltage of the individual cells and keeps them ‘balanced’ at the end of the charge routine assuring that both cells in the pack are at closely comparable states of charge when the charger finishes. A123 initially indicated that their cells don’t require balancing. Field trials at very high discharge rates (electric flight applications) revealed that balancing improved performance of the pack and longevity of the pack. Balancing = Good for the pack.
