Unlike existing symmetrical voltage equalizers using diode switches, the proposed voltage equalizer can balance the voltage of battery cells without a threshold voltage drop, because the diode-less design is realized by the cross-coupled structure. The performance of the proposed voltage equalizer is clarified by theoretical analysis, computer simulations, and breadboard-based experimental tests. The computer simulations and experiments reveal that the proposed voltage equalizer outperforms conventional inductor-less voltage equalizers.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United Statesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVoltage equalizersCross-coupled structureSymmetrical structureInductor-less circuitsBattery cellsArticle1156Q211516WOS:000604392100156Q1
