When the bus bar is connected to the VC channel, the system must turn on two adjacent internal FETs to balance the cell above the bus bar as shown in Figure 5-9. The system must use manual balancing mode to turn on two adjacent FETs. Since two series CB FETs must be turned on to cell balance, the balancing current is slightly lower. See Equation 5 to calculate cell balancing current when the bus bar is connected to the VC channel.
