The LTC3305 is a lead-acid battery balancer that uses an auxiliary battery or an alternative storage cell (AUX) to transfer charge to and from individual batteries within a series-connected stack. The ...
Typically, the individual cells in a battery have somewhat different capacities and may be at different levels of state of charge (SOC). Without balancing, the cell of smallest capacity is a “weak ...
When using rechargeable lithium-ion cells in large batteries, such as those in an electric vehicle, you encounter unique problems. Bus voltages greater than 100V preclude the use of a standard IC for ...
