(1) Balancing current is not internally limited. The cell balancing operation is completely controlled by the Host processor, no automatic function or time-out is included in the part. Take care to ensure that balancing current through the part is below the maximum power dissipation limit. The Host algorithm is responsible for limiting thermal dissipation to package ratings.
