Abstract

This article presents the concept of a series battery balance circuit using flyback converter to implement multiple filling valley balance. The optoelectronic switches are used as the control components for increased safety. Each battery cell has a Photo Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (PhotoMOS) switch. The switch is used to determine the time at which the battery cell should be charged. The equalization current can reach 2A, hence the equalization speed is faster. The simulation and experimental results verify the operating characteristics of this proposed topology and method, and show that the circuit is straightforward and has been a low cost implementation.
