Patent ID: 7612530

Claim:
A bridge battery voltage equalizer for equalizing voltages of serially connect battery strings, which is characterized in that: at least one battery crosses over an energy-transferring circuit, said energy-transferring circuits are interconnected in a H-bride architecture, each of said energy-transferring circuit is composed of a first semiconductor switch, a first diode, a second semiconductor switch, a second diode and an inductor, wherein said first and second semiconductor switches are positioned diagonally with respect to said inductor, and said first and second diodes are positioned diagonally with respect to said inductor, said inductor crosses over negative nodes of said first diode and positive nodes of said second diode, and said battery connects with a third semiconductor switch; and a switch controller for detecting charging state of said battery to control said third semiconductor switch whether keep charging said battery; wherein when one of said first and second semiconductor switches is turned OFF, said inductor release electrical energy to at least a part of the battery strings and further wherein when said first semiconductor switch and said second semiconductor switch of said energy-transferring circuit are both turned ON, at least one battery stores electrical energy into said inductor.
