4 FAQs about Lithium battery pack usually has several strings

Can a lithium ion battery pack have multiple strings?

Whenever possible, using a single string of lithium cells is usually the preferred configuration for a lithium ion battery pack as it is the lowest cost and simplest. However, sometimes it may be necessary to use multiple strings of cells. Here are a few reasons that parallel strings may be necessary:

What is a battery string?

This refers to a configuration of multiple battery cells or modules connected together in a series, parallel, or a combination of both to create a battery pack. The purpose of a battery string is to achieve the desired voltage and capacity for a specific application.

Why are parallel lithium strings important?

Since lithium cells must be managed on a cell level, parallel lithium strings dramatically increase the complexity and cost of the battery management and introduce many additional points of failure and failure modes not found with a single string.

Should a battery pack be paralleled?

Paralleling strings together greatly increases the complexity of managing the battery pack and should be avoided unless there is a specific reason to use this configuration. In this setup, each string must essentially be treated as its own battery pack for a variety of reasons. In a below example, 2 strings of 8 cells each are placed in parallel.
