Investigation on Cell Performance and Inconsistency Evolution of Series and Parallel Lithium-Ion Battery Modules
Graphical Abstract
In a series module, cells with smaller capacity suffer from hard working conditions, leading to faster aging speed and finally exacerbating the deterioration of cell consistency. However, cells with large capacity in a parallel module bear a large current, thus accelerating the aging speed and automatically balancing the capacity of different cells. More details can be found in article number 2100072, Haifeng Dai, Xuezhe Wei, and co-workers.
