Background
The voltage and current of the battery are set in grades, therefore, when the required power quality cannot be realized by 1 battery, a plurality of batteries are connected in series, parallel or series-parallel to provide larger voltage and current, and at this time, the connected batteries are used as a whole to realize the charging and discharging processes simultaneously. However, since the batteries themselves cannot be identical in terms of the process, the batteries are unbalanced after being charged and discharged for many times, and thus, circulation current occurs among the batteries, which affects the service life of the batteries.
The existing equalizing devices are all arranged in a specific mode, namely, no method is available for realizing equalization directly on the structures of the existing batteries and chargers through simple structural improvement, and the whole set of equipment needs to be replaced, so that the use cost is greatly improved; and the existing equalizing devices are used for further discharging the battery, such as discharging the battery to a resistor and a capacitor, and further charging the battery, however, in the case that the battery is frequently used, the equalizing method is extremely disadvantageous because there is not enough time for additional charging and discharging of the battery.
