Battery balancing methods: A comprehensive review
Abstract
The trend toward more electric vehicles has demanded the need for high voltage, high efficiency and long life battery systems. A complete battery system consists of the following parts: protection, management and balancing. Of the three parts, balancing is the most important concerning the life of the battery system because without the balancing system, the individual cell voltages will drift apart over time. The capacity of the total pack will also decrease more quickly during operation which will result in the fail of the total battery system. This condition is especially severe when the battery has a long string of cells (high voltage battery systems) and frequent regenerative braking (charging) is done via the battery pack. This paper presents the theory behind the proposed balancing methods for battery systems within the past twenty years. Comparison between the methods is carried out and different balancing methods are grouped by their nature of balancing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
