6 FAQs about [How to match battery cells with battery packs]
What makes a good battery pack?
Battery packs with well-matched cells perform better than those in which the cell or group of cells differ in serial connection. Quality Li-ion cells have uniform capacity and low self-discharge when new. Adding cell balancing is beneficial especially as the pack ages and the performance of each cell decreases at its own pace.
What happens if a battery pack is cycled?
When cycled, all batteries show large capacity losses over 18 cycles, but the greatest decrease occurs with the pack exhibiting 12 percent capacity mismatch. Battery packs with well-matched cells perform better than those in which the cell or group of cells differ in serial connection.
Do nickel based batteries match each other?
Cell matching according to capacity is important, especially for industrial batteries, and no perfect match is possible. If slightly off, nickel-based cells adapt to each other after a few charge/discharge cycles similar to the players on a winning sports team.
How to measure SOC in a battery?
Measuring the SOC of a cell is complicated; hence it is very complex to measure the SOC of individual cells in a battery. An ideal cell balancing technique should match the cells of same SOC instead of the same voltage (OCV) levels.
What type of balancing should a multi-cell pack have?
For multi-cell packs, he suggested using quality Li-ion cells that have been factory-sorted on capacity and voltage. This works well for Li-ion packs up to 24V; packs above 24V should have balancing. Most balancing is passive; active balancing is complex and is only used in very large systems.
Why does a battery pack always have balanced cells?
As told earlier when a battery pack is formed by placing the cells in series it is made sure that all the cells are in same voltage levels. So a fresh battery pack will always have balanced cells. But as the pack is put into use the cells get unbalanced due to the following reasons. SOC Imbalance
