Sometimes a viable solution is to connect multiple batteries in series, parallel, or a combination of the two. It is good practice to only connect batteries of identical capacity, type, and age. Series If you are hooking batteries up in series, connect the positive terminal of one to the negative of the next, and so on.
Fig. 1 is a block diagram of circuitry in a typical Li-ion battery pack. It shows an example of a safety protection circuit for the Li-ion cells and a gas gauge (capacity measuring device). The safety circuitry includes a Li-ion protector that controls back-to-back FET switches. These switches can be
If the circuitry in the battery pack contains a substrate diode from the communication line to VCC, it is possible to disrupt the VCC supply when plugging in the battery pack. This disruption may cause improper operation of the battery-pack electronics.
In short, connecting batteries of different voltages in series will work, but damage will be done to both batteries during the discharge and recharge cycles. The more one is damaged, the more the other one will be damaged and both will need replacing long before needed.
Series If you are hooking batteries up in series, connect the positive terminal of one to the negative of the next, and so on. The following formula applies to series circuits: (V total = V 1 +V 2 etc.). This will provide you with extra voltage for the load, but no extra current (I total = I 1 = I 2 etc.).
The electrical path to pull up the battery pack VCC passes through the host capacitance from Pack+ to Pack–, through a substrate diode in the host interface driver from VSS to the commu-nication or interface line, and through a substrate diode from this line to VCC in the battery-pack circuitry. The complete path is shown in Fig. 6.
BQ2947: Combining two battery packs both with BMS
I would like to combine two 3s2p Li-ion packs to make one 3s4p pack. Each of the 3s2p packs utilize the BQ2947 for over-voltage protection and both use the BQ40Z50 to balance cells. If I start with two fully charged cells they may slowly drift apart from each other. However, it seems if one pack is above the other, it will try to charge the ...
