BQ29200 - fault in Figure 9 (datasheet)?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ29200

Hi

I'm confused about figure 9 in the datasheet of BQ29200 "2-series cell configuration".

On this picture, the current even flows through the 100-ohm-resistor and then through the fuse to "Pack +". Is there an error? Shouldn't be the fuse and the "pack +" on the other side of the 100-ohm-resistor, so that the main current doesn't flow through the resistor?

If a.e. a current is needed between "pack+" and "pack-" of 2 amps, the power loss on the 100-ohm-resistor  100 watts (figure 9). That shouldn't be true. Where is my error in reasoning? Or is there really an error in figure 9?

Thanks.
