Battery cell balancing

Analyzes the battery cell balancing and determines the current, charge, power and energy dissipation at the balancing resistors. Data is provided for individual cells and for the battery pack.

Notes

Inputs are arrays and probably require conversion with "Signal to Array". Time channel of array outputs is the combination of all input signals' rasters.
