BrianG, long day but I got the manual. Here is what it says. There are two main functions of the datport connection to lba10 balance adapter:

*the lba communicates with the charger, giving notification when balance charging is completed, or when an error is detected. In both cases, the lba tells the charger to shut down. This insures maximum safety, and saves the user from having to manually push the charger stop button to stop the charge-end or error tones.
*the dataport version eos chargers when connected to lba10 balancer via cable hp-e02lba10-dpc allow the user to monitor the individual voltages of each battery cell during the charge process. this is an important addition to pack diagnostics ans on is able to see the exact balance status of the battery pack (or packs when lba10 is in net mode)

so it doesn't look like it will reduce the rate, but will stop the charge if it detects an error.
