4) A balancer assures that all cells are at nearly the same voltage and state of charge so they all get to 4.2 at the same time when being charged.

The Thunder Power charger/balancer system will shut down if any cell gets too high. An important safety feature.

Jim,

Thanks for the help, I figured that was the case (matching voltages, that is) but I wanted to be sure. Another related question - how does a balancer manage to charge each cell individually in a series connected pack?

Thanks,
Mark
