BMS 17S - 21S 5A Active Balancer Energy Transfer Equalization Board For Battery Pack

 

Balancing is one of the most important aspects of lithium-ion batteries. This is because lithium-ion battery packs contain multiple groups of cells in parallel and series. The parallel cells are able to transfer energy between each other and maintain a self-balance, but the series cells cannot do this.

This is why some sort of external balancing circuit is required. In an ideal scenario, you would not have to worry about balance because the cells are all the same anyway.

In reality, however, variations in the manufacturing process and other factors will make even batteries with perfectly matched cells eventually come out of balance.

Active balancing is able to redistribute energy between the series groups of a battery pack to ensure that they all have the same state of charge. This is done with a sophisticated circuit that is able to connect to the higher voltage cell group, take the excess energy from it,

 

connect to a lower voltage cell group, and then transfer the stored energy to them to bring them into balance. Because of this, active balancing is the more accurate and faster approach to battery balancing.

In contrast, passive balancing relies on Ohm’s Law and the natural cell and balance resistor characteristics to bring cells to the same state of charge. This method works by literally burning off the excess energy in the higher voltage cell groups,

which is wasteful. Because of this, passive balancing is generally less accurate and slower than active balancing and in cases where the cell groups are significantly imbalanced, the low and slow passive balance current may be totally unable to bring the battery to balance.

A single EK-C21S5A supports the use of 17 and 18 and 19 and 20 and 21 string battery packs. The wiring method is as follows:

EK-C21S5A supports cascading battery packs. Fox exmple, 2pcs of 21s cascade to 41s, see below drawing:

NOTE:As shown in the figure above,there can be multiple common ends of energy exchangeso that the efficiency of equilibrium will be higher;It is also possible to use only one common end of theenergy exchange atthejunction of two modules.

The other free feet are suspended, and it is best todistribute the number of strings equally on each board.If you need the cascade diagram for more strings, Please contact our online service, Thanks.
