Maximum regen rate?

Anyone know what the max regeneration rate on a Gen 1 is? I see up to -40 on the kw meter but is all of that being absorbed by the battery or at some point is just dissipated?

Regen displayed is going into the battery.
Once it maxes out any more braking you request is blended in as friction brakes.
No electricity is 'dissipated', it's all used !
