For components in series, the current through each is equal and the voltage drops off. In a simple model, the total capacity of a battery pack with cells in series and parallel is the complement to this.
2. Initial variations of the cell capacity and impedance play a rather minor role in the utilization of a battery pack, due to a decrease of the relative variance of cell blocks with cells connected in parallel.
However, it stands to reason that initial variations of the impedance and the capacity play a rather minor part in the final utilization of the battery pack. On the other hand, the variation of the intrinsic aging rates revealed the largest influence on the pack utilization.
Current research on CtCV has focused on electrical parameters (e.g., capacity, resistance, electric quantity) and thermal factors (e.g., temperature), which critically impact battery pack properties including pack state, capacity, power, and aging pattern.
However, the voltage and temperature values among cells show slight difference due to CtCV. Therefore, it is crucial to analyze how cell parameter variations affect the fast-charging performance of the battery packs. Fig. 6. Fast charging results of the battery pack.
The unbalance in the cells might also result in overcharging of the cells which in turn poses a severe safety concern. Overheating of the battery leads to internal chemical reactions of the components with the electrolyte and might also result in a thermal run-away.
