Equalizing charge is defined as a controlled overcharging process performed on flooded lead-acid batteries after they have reached full charge. The primary objectives of this process include:.
As shown in Figure 3, Q1 and Q2 are closed, whereas all other MOSFETs are disconnected. The DC-DC converter charges the energy from the battery pack to B1, and the SOC of B1 is gradually rising at this time. If B1 has the lowest SOC, then after DC-DC charging, its SOC will component rise, that is, it will achieve the goal of battery equalization.

In the module-based BCE system, charge equalization is typically performed periodically according to the working cycle of charge equalizers, i.e., the control period of charge equalization
Equalization time will vary depending on the level of sulfation, balance of charge, size of the battery bank and available charging source. Typically, a corrective Equalization is necessary every 60 to 180 days to desulfate and balance a battery bank in systems which are deficit cycled and/or charged at lower charge currents.

This proposed novel control algorithm allows equalization during any battery operation (driving/charging), unlike the existing control strategies for the Cell Bypass, and most of the other existing methods.

An equalization charge is a controlled overcharge applied to fully charged deep-cycle flooded or wet batteries. It prevents electrolyte stratification, which is the separation of battery liquids, and reduces sulfation, a buildup that can lead to battery failure.
According to the voltage characteristic analysis of the lithium-ion battery, when the SOC>80% or the SOC<30%, the voltage consistency is poor. Therefore, it is necessary to turn on the active equalization control so that the battery pack can charge and discharge more power, and improve battery energy utilization.
According to the equalization control scheme proposed in this study, the equalization system starts to work and equalizes battery packs in series. Bat4 has the smallest initial voltage and its voltage rise rate is relatively fast during the charging process, while the charging speed of other batteries is relatively slow.
Assuming that B1 has the highest SOC, then battery equalization can be achieved by controlling the SOC released from B1 by controlling the time T at which MOSFET K1 closes. For the active equalization part, each battery cell is charged by two MOSFETs to control the DC-DC converter.
Therefore, it is necessary to turn on the active equalization control so that the battery pack can charge and discharge more power, and improve battery energy utilization. Charging state: (14) w 1 = V max − V ¯
