At the core of the feature of cell level regulation is that multiple battery cells tend to become unbalanced.  Where some batteries can't accept some level of charge while others take more time to come into equilibrium.  *shrugs* --[[User:Rjf|Rjf]] 00:28, 24 September 2013 (CDT)</ins></div></td></tr> </table>

The regulator dissipates the excess current as heat, and it can only dissipate so many watts before it burns up. The batteries, on the other hand, are sized to handle the large currents needed to move a heavy vehicle.<br /> <br /> A rewrite would be something like this:<br /> <br /> &quot;They also optionally send a signal back to a Manzanita Micro battery charger (or other charger) telling the charger to cut back on the charging current because one or more regulators are getting too hot.&quot;</div>
