The stability and safety of lithium batteries require treating them with careful consideration. If lithium-ion battery cells do not operate within a constrained state-of-charge (SOC) range, their ...

Part 1 of this article explains the challenges associated with implementation of large Li-Ion battery packs for automotive applications and highlights the advantages of active balancing vs. passive ...

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 ...

March 5, 2013. Linear Technology Corp. has announced the LTC3300-1, a high-efficiency bidirectional multicell battery balancer for equalizing cell state of charge (SoC) in a series-connected battery ...

The Chinese manufacturer has upgraded its commercial application battery with a dissipative balancing technology that, it is claimed, will make the storage system suitable for different load ...
