This battery balancing method uses resistors in a balancing circuit that equalizes the voltage of each cell by the dissipation of energy from higher cell voltage and formulates the entire cell voltages equivalent to the lowest cell voltage. This technique can be classified as a fixed shunt resistor and switching shunt resistor method.
These methods can be broadly categorized into four types: passive cell balancing, active cell balancing using capacitors, Lossless Balancing, and Redox Shuttle. Each Cell Balancing Technique approaches cell voltage and state of charge (SOC) equalization differently. Dig into the types of Battery balancing methods and learn their comparison!
