    摘要: A battery module includes: a battery pack including multiple cells; control circuits corresponding to the cells, each control circuit including a control unit for managing the corresponding cell and a compensation unit for generating a corresponding compensation current such that the sum of the corresponding consumed current and the corresponding compensation current is equal to a target total current, where the control circuits include a first control circuit and a second control circuit, where the first control circuit includes a first control unit operating with a first consumed current, the second control circuit includes a second control unit operating with a second consumed current, and where the first control circuit conditionally generates a first compensation current and the second control circuit conditionally generates a second compensation current based on a comparison of the first consumed current and the second consumed current.

    摘要: An open cell detection system includes a battery management system. The battery management system includes a control unit that transmits an open cell detection signal, to enable a balance unit for a first time period and to disable it for a second time period, and to enable an under-voltage comparison unit and an over-voltage comparison unit for a third time period. The under-voltage comparison unit compares a voltage with a first open cell threshold and outputs a first comparison result in the third time period. The over-voltage comparison unit compares a voltage with a second open cell threshold and outputs a second comparison result in the third time period. A judging unit determines whether a connection between a first battery unit and the battery management system is inoperative based on the first and second comparison results.
