  • Method and device for measuring cell voltages in a plurality of series-connected accumulator cells
    Patent number: 8242746
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring cell voltages of accumulator cells in a plurality of series-connected accumulator cells in a battery pack or cell pack including an Li-Ion cell pack. The method and the device are characterized in that no unbalancing of the battery pack is caused by the measurements of the cell voltages on the individual accumulator cells.

  • Method and Device for Measuring Cell Voltages in a Plurality of Series-Connected Accumulator Cells
    Publication number: 20100219837
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for measuring cell voltages of accumulator cells (Z1, . . . Z10) in a plurality of series-connected accumulator cells especially of a so-called battery pack or cell pack (100), as for example described for Li-Ion cell packs, the pack comprising a plurality of such series-connected accumulator cells. The method and the device are especially characterized in that no unbalancing of the battery pack is caused by the measurements of the cell voltages on the individual accumulator cells.
