of cells in a battery pack, like in any chain, means that performance is
limited by the weakest cell. Cell-to-cell variations increase over time, and lead to limited pack capacity and power, and uneven temperature
distribution. Modular Energy Systems are useful to integrate
generic sources. Read More... |
