Specifically, the internal resistance and open circuit voltage (OCV) of cells are acquired under the condition of varying temperature and state of charge (SOC) by tests. To obtain the heat generation of cells, the irreversible heat, which is based on the internal resistance, and the reversible heat, which is related to the entropy coefficient, are calculated by means of the

The only way to balance the pack is to apply a differential charging current (cell balancing) to the cell with higher capacity (C1). The same has to be done as the pack discharges. If not done,
A top balanced pack will have more imbalance at 50%, than if it was balanced at 50%. For me using 55% as the normal charge level but charging to 100% or close at least ince a month for driving to work or my mother in law, I have had 4mV at these periods up to one month at 55%. The imbalance do not increase during this month. Its more or less always 4mV if being
