Asymmetric battery pack utilizing C-Rate balancing
Abstract:
Battery packs having jelly roll battery cells of different capacities may have an imbalance in the charging and/or discharging current supplied to and provided by each jelly roll due to differences in capacity specific impedance between the battery cells of the battery pack. A C-rate (i.e., current relative to rated capacity) of a lower capacity first battery cell and a higher capacity second battery cell connected in parallel may be balanced by repositioning and/or increasing the number of cathode tabs and anode tabs of the second jelly roll battery cell to reduce an impedance of the second battery cell.
