Weakest Cell

pack series and paralle

When we connect cells in series the resultant pack is only as strong as the weakest cell in the string. Example In the simplest string of three cells in series, let us assume they are LFP with a nominal 3.2V and 100Ah. However, in reality the middle cell has a capacity of just 95Ah. This … Read more

Variability in Battery Pack Capacity

statistical variation in pack capacity

In school, we learn that the voltage across circuit components in parallel is the same, and the current is split between them according to their resistances. For components in series, the current through each is equal and the voltage drops off. In a simple model, the total capacity of a battery pack with cells in … Read more
