Battery balancer

Battery balancer

A battery balancer is a device in a battery pack which can actively shuttle energy into a weak cell from other more healthy cells in the pack, they may also include the function of a battery regulator to prevent overcharging. Balancers are often found in Lithium ion battery packs for cell phones and laptop computers. They can also be found in BEV battery packs.

A full Battery Management System (BMS) might include active balancing as well as temperature monitoring, charging, and other features to maximize the life of a battery pack.
