Design and analysis of an inductor-less cross-coupled voltage equalizer

To equalize the imbalance in the state-of-charge (SoC) of lithium-ion cells, we propose a novel inductor-less cross-coupled voltage equalizer for series-connected batteries. Unlike existing symmetrical voltage equalizers using diode switches, the proposed voltage equalizer can balance the voltage of...
