One of the most helpful tools is to change your readout from ''Percent'' to ''Voltage,'' as this will provide an exact number of the battery''s charge. It will still be subject to some ''voltage sag.''

Customer ServiceSecond, due to the inter-cell inconsistency and charge/discharge cut-off voltages, the overall charge/discharge capacity of a series battery pack is limited by the weakest cell that first reaches the cut-off voltages [14, 15]. As shown in Fig. 1, charging a 4-cell series battery pack must stop when any one cell reaches the upper cut-off voltage.

Customer ServiceWhen batteries are connected in series, the total voltage of the circuit is the sum of the voltages of all the batteries, but the current remains the same, still being the current of a single battery.

Customer ServiceFig. 8 shows the relationship between the battery pack capacity and the series cell capacity, taking a battery pack with three cells connected in series as an example. Battery pack capacity is defined as the maximum capacity of the battery pack that can be charged from a discharged state to a fully charged state.
If we assume one terminal of the battery pack is connected to ground, we can measure the open circuit voltage across each cell. This works because DMMs measure differential voltage, or the voltage potential at HI minus the voltage potential at LO.
We further establish a connection between the battery pack and its series cells to enable pack capacity estimation. The proposed method is verified based on two sets of battery pack tests comprising 60 cells in series and with severe capacity inconsistency.
The operating conditions of battery pack are different from those of single cell, with the former typically utilizing a multi-stage constant current mode rather than the constant voltage charging mode commonly used for single cells.
The proposed voltage measurement method can be extended to a battery pack with n cells in series, in which each voltage sensor measures the voltage sum of k cells ( k < n ).
Therefore the pack current, cell temperature, and each cell voltage should be monitored timely in case of some unusual situations. The battery pack must be protected against all these situations. Good measurement accuracy is always required, especially the cell voltage, pack current, and cell temperature.
