Why is cell balance important in lithium iron phosphate batteries?
In lithium iron phosphate batteries, once the cell with the lowest voltage reaches the discharge voltage cutoff point, the performance and life of the cell will be affected. Therefore, maintaining cell balance is critical to optimize cell function and extend service life.
What is a balancing circuit in a LiFePO4 battery pack?
This concept is similar to maintaining balance when connecting individual cells in series. LiFePO4 battery packs (or any lithium battery pack) are equipped with a circuit board with a balancing circuit, protection circuit module (PCM), or battery management system (BMS) circuit board that monitors the battery and its cells.
Why does a LiFePO4 battery run away at the end of charge?
LiFePO4 packs have a tendency for one cell’s voltage to run away at the end of charge during taper conditions. This runaway can be prevented by charging to a lower voltage (3.5 V per cell) or disabling the charger after one cell’s voltage skews beyond 20 mV higher or lower than any other cell.
What is battery balancing?
Battery balancing is the process of matching cells by capacity and voltage, and controlling their voltage by cycling the cells to maintain balance or near-identical voltages at all states of charge (SOC).
What is a good voltage level for a LiFePO4 battery?
The acceptable cell voltage difference for LiFePO4 is 0.1V. You will only reach this level when the battery is either fully charged or fully discharged. This is because a LiFePO4 voltage curve is flat in the middle. What is the voltage level of a lead-acid battery?
Why do LiFePO4 batteries have a flat voltage curve?
LiFePO4 batteries exhibit a very flat voltage curve during discharge. This means the voltage remains relatively constant for most of the discharge cycle, providing a stable power output. The flat curve also makes it challenging to determine the exact state of charge (SOC) based solely on voltage.
