• Power and Gardening Tools

Design Notes

• Cell measurement accuracy is specified over temperature — calibrate the sense path if the gauge reports state of charge rather than raw voltage.
• Balance current is limited by the bleed resistor and the pack wiring; check the resulting balance time for the capacity mismatch you expect.
• Protection thresholds should sit inside the cell maker's absolute limits with margin for measurement error.
• Keep the sense lines separate from the power path to avoid IR drop corrupting readings.
