State Of Charge estimation is a key factor for correct and safe battery management, particularly for the development of the Battery Management System (BMS). In general, the SOC of a battery is defined as the ratio of its current capacity to the nominal capacity. The nominal capacity is given by the manufacturer and represents…

 A large number of cells connected together in series and parallel patterns consitute a battery. In order to extract the electricity from the battery efficiently, all the cells should be same category and should have same voltage while discharging and charging.  However, in the battery pack it is not the case.…
