A key factor in the design of battery packs is the internal resistance Rint [Ω] . Internal resistance is a natural property of the battery cell that slows down the flow of electric current. It’s made up of the resistance found in the electrolyte, electrodes, and connections inside the cell.
If the current through each battery cell is I cell = 2 A and there are 3 cells connected in parallel (N p = 3), the battery pack current is calculated as: I pack = N p · I cell = 3 · 2 = 6 A In parallel circuits, the voltage across each cell is the same and equal to the voltage of the power source.
The second step of the battery pack configuration is to create a string of 17 modules and connect 2 strings of modules in parallel. This will make the configuration of the battery pack as 17S2P (N p = 2, N s = 17). Image: Battery pack module arrangement 17S2P.
The power loss of the battery pack is calculated as: P loss = R pack · I pack2 = 0.09 · 4 2 = 1.44 W Based on the power losses and power output, we can calculate the efficiency of the battery pack as: η pack = (1 – P loss /P pack) · 100 = (1 – 1.44/43.4) · 100 = 96.682 %
In series circuits, the voltages of individual cells add up to give the total voltage across the battery pack. If each cell has the same voltage U cell = 3.6 V the battery pack voltage will be the sum of all battery cell voltages.
Here's a simple step-by-step guide for battery pack designers that could be useful for most battery packs without claims to be a technical manual: Define the Battery Pack Requirements: The battery pack designer starts by understanding the intended use and related requirements, including voltage, capacity, size, and weight constraints.

How does the current get distributed in a Serial-Parallel battery pack?
You get 20A flowing via the whole circuit, and since the whole circuit consists of packs of two paralleled cells connected in series, there will be 20A flowing via each pack of two parallel cells. So each cell should have 10A flowing through it, but as the cells are not identical, the current is distributed unevenly via the two cells due to ...
