Sneak Circuit Theory Based Approach to Avoiding Short-Circuit Paths in Reconfigurable Battery Systems

The efficiency and safety issues caused by cell differences are the key factor to hinder the use of retired batteries. The reconfigurable battery technique is an effective method to break through the bottleneck. However, the potential short-circuit paths increase exponentially with the number of cells, which makes manual analysis unapplicable and brings serious risks in large scale reconfigurable ...
