Most Lithium cell chemistries have a Nominal voltage lower than 4 Volts. So, in order to make it usable for higher voltage applications, we might have to use a boost converter or we can design a battery pack that provides the required output voltage by arranging the cells in a combination of series and parallel.

Micro-Short-Circuit Diagnosis for Series-Connected Lithium-Ion Battery Packs Using Mean-Difference Model Abstract: Micro-short-circuit (MSC) is a latent risk in power batteries, which may give rise to thermal runaway and even catastrophic safety hazards.

This blog will help show the basics of battery series and parallel configurations. If you are hooking batteries up in series, connect the positive terminal of one to the negative of the next, and so on. The following formula applies to series circuits: (V total = V 1 +V 2 etc.). This will provide you with extra voltage for the load, but no extra current (I total = I 1 = I 2 etc.). The
