Cell balancing in lithium ion car batteries seems to tough nut to crack without excessive complexity. The issue is that Li-ion cells are terribly intolerant of over-charging. 0.1V can be the ...

High-efficiency bidirectional multicell battery balancer for equalizing cell state of charge in a series-connected battery stack Linear’s new LTC3300-1 is a high-efficiency bidirectional multicell ...

Linear Technology has been addressing the problem of cells in batteries degrading at different rates so affecting the efficiency of the charging and discharging of the battery. “You’re only as good as ...

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 ...

A monolithic flyback dc/dc converter, designed to actively balance high voltage stacks of batteries, has been introduced by Linear Technology. The LT8584 offers high efficiency active balancing by ...
