Claim Text:
1. A battery equalization circuit, comprising: a first positive battery node configured to connect to a positive node of a first monitored battery cell contained in a battery circuit that includes a plurality of other battery cells connected in series with the first monitored battery cell; a first negative battery node configured to connect to a negative node of the first monitored battery cell; a first transformer winding configured to receive an output voltage of an AC generator, the first transformer winding having a first upper transformer node and a first lower transformer node; a first upper triac connected between the first positive battery node and the first upper transformer node; a first lower triac connected between the first negative battery node and the first lower transformer node; and a multiplexers configured to control the operation of the first upper triac and the first lower triac based on instructions received from a central control unit, wherein the instructions received from the central control unit are generated based on a first measured cell voltage between the first positive battery node and the first negative battery node, and a total battery voltage of the battery circuit.
