Index Terms—Electric Vehicle, Lithium-ion Battery Pack, State-of-health Estimation, Balancing current ratio I. INTRODUCTION Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is regarded as a key energy storage source to promote the development of transportation electrification, with the overall capacity exceeding 170GWh in 2020 [1].
the bq76930 to implement many battery pack management functions such as monitoring (cell voltages, pack current, pack temperatures), protection (controlling charge or discharge FETs), and balancing. Integrated ADCs enable a purely digital readout of critical system parameters with calibration handled in TI''s manufacturing process.
Balancing helps reduce stress on individual cells, keeping the entire battery pack safe and stable. Without balancing, lithium batteries become more prone to overheating, voltage drops, and physical degradation—all of which can compromise user safety. 4.

Balance current [A] = 7 mA / (4 hours / 24 hours) = 42 mA So, in this example, a BMS with a maximum balance current of 100 mA is sufficient to keep the pack in balance. But what if the delta leakage is 35 mA? Then, the balance current is:

Improving battery pack performance: Balancing processing avoids the performance decline of individual batteries from leading to a decrease in the entire battery pack performance. Higher costs are associated with circuit design and component selection. Passive balancing. Passive balancing, also known as energy-dissipating balancing, operates
As mentioned in the comment above and in reference to what the engineers at batteryspace told me: Balancing is not seen as a critical feature on low-discharge Li-Ion packs or such packs that have less than 4 cells in series. While there is a "COM" or "MID" connection on most protection modules, this may not be a direct indicator of a balancing function and could

Cell balancing is considered when multiple cells in a battery pack are connected in series. Cell balancing is not needed in parallel connected Li-Ion cells since this configuration is self-balancing. In a battery pack, cells are balanced when all the cells in the pack have the same voltage per cell whilst in a fully charged or discharged state.
Battery balancing equalizes the state of charge (SOC) across all cells in a multi-cell battery pack. This technique maximizes the battery pack’s overall capacity and lifespan while ensuring safe operation.
There are two main methods for battery cell charge balancing: passive and active balancing. The natural method of passive balancing a string of cells in series can be used only for lead-acid and nickel-based batteries. These types of batteries can be brought into light overcharge conditions without permanent cell damage.
Assuming the battery pack will be balanced the first time it is charged and in use. Also, assuming the cells are assembled in series. If the cells are very different in State of Charge (SoC) when assembled the Battery Management System (BMS) will have to gross balance the cells on the first charge.
Selecting the appropriate battery balancer depends on several factors: Battery chemistry: Ensure compatibility with the specific battery type (e.g., lithium-ion, LiFePO4, lead-acid). Number of cells: Choose a balancer that supports the required number of cells in series. Balancing current: Consider the required balancing speed and efficiency.
The charge levels in a multi-cell battery pack are equalized with the assistance of a latest method i.e., Active Battery Balancing. In contrast to passive balancing, where extra energy is simply depleted as heat, active balancing tries to redisperse this extra energy to other cells in the pack that need charging.
