A series/parallel connection scheme for energy storage devices

摘要: A battery pack has series-parallel connected cells. An inrush current limiting circuit devices and a tracking means limits from shorted Each is coupled to the such that they limit an parallel neighbor cells when one cell on column shorts. The are variable buffer resistors with positive temperature coefficient. heat sinks thermally couples together increase in resistance caused by flowing through resistor associated cell. Current regulating elements series columns of for preventing
