3.4.2. Individual Cell Battery Parallel into the Battery Pack For a parallel-connected battery pack, the negative feedback formed by the coupling of parameters between individual cells can keep the current stable before the end of charge and discharge.
This research paper aims to present a battery pack suitable for the application, with a sizing and rating of 48 V, 3.84 kWh, and 80 Ah capacity. To achieve this, 260 cells of the 21700 model of lithium-ion cells are used in series-parallel combinations, following the current standard specifications.
Cell connections A battery pack containing cells in parallel requires many cell interconnections to ensure all cells are in the current path. Typically, cells are grouped into parallel units, and each unit is then connected in series.
Both of these have implications for the entire battery pack performance as well as for the current distribution within the parallel unit. For the simulation results and verification of the modelling framework presented, it has been assumed that there is no additional resistance between each cell.
Once many cells are as- sembled into a battery pack, the performance of the battery pack cannot be evaluated through adding all single cells together. The reason is that, in the battery pack, the worst cell determines the whole battery pack performance, as shown in Fig. 4.
