Parallel battery strings are used in most battery packs to meet the high capacity and power requirements of applications such as automotive traction. [ 1] For example, the Tesla Model S 85 kW h battery pack consists of 74 cells (18650) connected in parallel, and six of these in series to form a single module.
Three equivalent circuit models for multi-cell battery strings in series, parallel, and series/parallel connections have been newly provided. The validation of the proposed models is implemented by comparison between the discharging/charging behavior of the battery pack and the experimental data of a single cell.
Eddy currents) When two or more strings are paralleled together, currents will flow between the strings. These currents form due to differences in the total pack voltage between strings. The amount of current that flows is determined by the difference in total string voltages, resistance of each string, and the characteristics of the cells.
Whenever possible, using a single string of lithium cells is usually the preferred configuration for a lithium ion battery pack as it is the lowest cost and simplest. However, sometimes it may be necessary to use multiple strings of cells. Here are a few reasons that parallel strings may be necessary:
