Optimization of LIFEPO4 Battery Pack for Electric Vehicles Application Using Active Balancer
Cell-to-cell imbalance in series-connected LiFePO4 packs limits usable capacity and can introduce avoidable balancing losses, particularly when equalization relies on dissipative methods. This study quantifies the impact of adding a bidirectional active balancer to an electric-vehicle LiFePO4 battery pack that is other...
