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 1):
A bilevel equalizer for battery voltage management comprising:\n a plurality of cells configured to be connected together to form a battery pack, the plurality of cells divided into at least two sections; at least two resistive equalizers, each resistive equalizer connected to each of the plurality of cells in a one-to-one relationship within the at least two sections; and a switching equalizer connected between the at least two sections.
