Experienced battery applications engineers speak darkly of ‘circulating currents.’ IEEE standards recommend that parallel strings be not just of the same capacity but of about the same age, and that circuit resistances for the strings be ‘as similar as possible’ to prevent imbalances.
Whenever 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:
In a parallel string battery arrangement one string is connected in parallel with another string. It may consist on one additional string or many additional strings. It is not uncommon for a high voltage system supporting a UPS system for 6 strings to be in parallel. Some 48V systems have 50 strings in parallel and in rare cases, even more.
The absence of any theoretical limitation to the number of parallel strings is borne out by the experience of telecom operators, and at least one battery manufacturer allows up to 16 parallel strings, depending on system voltage.3
The string efficiency shows a linear decrease with increasing power for both charging and discharging, with 100% at 0 kW, and 90% at ± 120 kW. This trend is mainly driven by the Joule losses in cells and semiconductors, which increase with power. The inverter was tested as part of the TOPChargE project .
This approach uses one battery charger per string. The BMS in each string directly controls the charger for that string, meaning that the charge can be controlled very precisely. Since the charging is handled and controlled by the charger on each string, each battery pack is only responsible for providing discharge current to the common DC bus.

The Ego Power+ 15-Inch String Trimmer with Powerload is all about power. This trimmer churns through thick grasses and stubborn brush with ease. Unfortunately, when it comes to more precise jobs like edging or just …
This paper investigates a practical universal modeling of multi-cell battery strings in series and parallel connections to show high an accuracy SOC (state-of-charge) estimation based on the EKF (extended Kalman filter) if cell-to-cell variations are taken into account and settled by the screening process. Through the screening ...
The purpose of a battery string is to achieve the desired voltage and capacity for a specific application. In series connections, the voltage (V) adds up, while in parallel connections, the …

Cell imbalance is one of the most critical problems in battery storage systems, especially in series-connected battery strings. The passive balancing methods are widely used …
Formula to calculate Current available in output of the battery system. How to calculate output current, power and energy of a battery according to C-rate? The simplest formula is : I = Cr * Er or Cr = I / Er Where Er = rated energy stored in Ah (rated capacity of the battery given by the manufacturer) I = current of charge or discharge in ...
IEEE standards recommend that parallel strings be not just of the same capacity but of about the same age, and that circuit resistances for the strings be ''as similar as possible'' to prevent imbalances. Yet two recent Intelec papers have clearly debunked these and other myths surrounding parallel strings.

Parallel String Batteries In High Voltage Applications. This article discusses the use of parallel string batteries in high voltage applications but the contents may be considered for any battery voltage. The subjects discussed in the paper are: - A) What do we mean by Parallel String Batteries? B) What do we mean by High Voltage Batteries?
The telecom power system at 48VDC has one battery string of flooded lead-acid cells rated 800 ampere-hours at an 8-hour discharge rate, which equates to a final battery voltage of 1.75V per cell. The system requires four 100A rectifiers to provide 3+1 redundancy. The telecom equipment load is 60A. The battery discharge current at an 8-hour rate and 1.75V/cell = 100A, per …

The core strength of BESS lies in independent battery string management. Complete isolation of DC voltage between strings eliminates bias and loop currents present in DC bus structures. Consequently, the risk of significant, system-wide capacity degradation due to voltage dips in individual strings is completely mitigated. The overall system ...

This paper proposes an energy management system (EMS) for a novel multi-battery design that directly connects its strings to other DC components through a busbar matrix without the need for interfacing power converters. The EMS has two primary control tasks: (i) allocating strings to other DC microgrid components, in this case a ...
A 20V battery is sufficient for most trimming requirements of a small to medium-sized yard (approximately 20 to 30 minutes of actual cutting). An 80V battery will provide about 45 minutes of run time, which is good for larger yards. How to Maintain Your Weed Eater. All string trimmers will have to have the trimmer line replaced at some point.
When it comes to large yards, you need a weed eater that not only has a wide cutting swath, but serious battery power. Basically you want to be able to cut thick grass without the battery running out. One of the best battery …

Applying the recycled power battery to automatic guided vehicles can greatly reduce system cost and prolong the life cycle of the battery. However, the consistency of recycled power batteries is poor, and the imbalance of battery voltage will occur during the charging or discharging process. Therefore, a double-switch single-transformer integrated equalizer is …
