Remember, your lithium-ion battery is only as strong as its weakest link. So, even if just one single cell group has a lower voltage than the rest of the pack, the battery will cut off when that cell group reaches the cut-off point. There are several ways this can be achieved.
Whether you are new to battery building or a seasoned professional, it's totally normal to not know how to balance a lithium battery pack. Most of the time when building a battery, as long as you use a decent BMS, it will balance the pack for you over time. The problem is, this can take a very, very long time.
To manually bottom balance a battery pack, you will need access to each individual cell group. Let's imagine that we have a 3S battery and the cell voltages are 3.93V, 3.98V, and 4.1V. Connect one end of a load resistor to the junction between cell group 2 and cell group 3.
Building a lithium-ion battery pack is an exciting and fulfilling process. In fact, it's so exciting that you just may overlook some critical steps. If you built a lithium-ion battery and its capacity is not what you expect, then you more than likely have a balance issue.
