Abstract:
An equalizer circuit provides both passive and active charge transfer between cells in a battery pack to improve charge and discharge efficiency. The equalizer circuit is a bilevel circuit that uses both resistive equalizers and switching equalizers to balance cell charge. The cells may be grouped into size limited sections which are balanced by resistive equalizers. The sections are balanced by switching equalizers to promote increased pack discharge capacity.

Claim (Index 11):
The bilevel equalizer of  claim 10  wherein each of the at least two resistive equalizers are electrically connected across positive and negative sides of each of the corresponding plurality of cells to form a plurality of resistive equalizing sub-circuits each resistive equalizing sub-circuit permitting current flow through the resistor as the switching circuit is cycled between an on state that electrically completes the circuit and an off state that electrically breaks the circuit, each of the plurality of cells being connected in series.
