Get StartedWhenever possible, using a single string of lithium cells is usually the preferred configuration for a lithium ion battery pack as it is the lowest cost and simplest. However, sometimes it may be necessary to use multiple strings of cells. Here are a few reasons that parallel strings may be necessary:
Based on the previous study, in this research a new cell-to-cell balancing circuit for lithium-ion battery strings is proposed to overcome the drawbacks of the conventional cell balancing methods. In the proposed topology, the charge is transferred from a high-voltage cell to a low-voltage cell directly by using a push-pull converter.
A battery string with a large number of cells connected in series and in parallel is necessary for many applications that require high power and high voltage, such as electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and energy storage systems (ESSs) [ 1 ].
In series and parallel strings connected Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery modules or packs, it is essential to equalise each Li-ion cell to enhance the power delivery performance and usable capacity, otherwise, it is restricted by the worst cell in the string.
The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest. This paper focuses on the active cell balancing of lithium-ion battery packs. An improved single-input, multioutput, bi-switch flyback converter was proposed to achieve effective balancing.
As battery cells in a string are connected in series, the performance of the string is limited to the performance of the weakest cell and, hence, the capacity of the battery string will be reduced. During normal operation, the weakest cell undergoes overdischarge and undercharge and eventually reaches failure.
