Balancing current: Determine the appropriate balancing current to achieve efficient equalization without compromising safety.
Battery balancing works by redistributing charge among the cells in a battery pack to achieve a uniform state of charge. The process typically involves the following steps: Cell monitoring: The battery management system (BMS) continuously monitors the voltage and sometimes temperature of each cell in the pack.
After balancing, the capacity of a battery is limited at both ends by the cell with the lowest capacity (or, in extreme cases, by the cell with the highest internal resistance) A balanced battery is one in which, at some State Of Charge, all the cells are exactly at the same SOC. This can be done at any SOC level.
More balance current will occur near end of discharge and end of charge than in the middle of the cycles due to the flatness of the voltage curve in the middle. Also it may not be desirable to drain balance current near end of discharge, thus a controlling circuit can be used to only drain balance current near end of charge on a charging cycle.
That's done by a different technique: Redistribution . Redistribution allows use of all the energy in the battery; it requires significantly higher currents than balancing. The point of balancing is to maximize the charge that the battery can deliver, limited only by the cell with the lowest capacity.
For example a slight increase in charging voltage from 4.2V to 4.25V will degrade the battery faster by 30%. So if cell balancing is not accurate even slight overcharging will reduce the battery life time. As the batteries in a pack get older few cells might be weaker than its neighboring cells.
