Advancement of lithium-ion battery cells voltage equalization techniques: A review

Recently, the use of electric batteries has reached great heights due to the invention of electric vehicles (EVs). Many lithium-ion battery cells are usually connected in series to meet the voltage requirements. The voltages of the entire series-connected battery cells in a battery pack should be eq...
