Uneven electrical current distribution in a parallel-connected lithium-ion battery pack can result in different degradation rates and overcurrent issues in the cells. Understanding the electrical current dynamics can enhance configuration design and battery management of parallel connections.
An uneven temperature distribution within a battery pack leads to mismatch of internal resistance among cells. For battery packs with series combination, all cells have the same charging/discharging current.
Parallel connection of lithium-ion batteries significantly aggravates the unbalanced discharging phenomenon between the cells. A simplified capacity loss model was proposed for the lithium-ion batteries and was used to assess the capacity degradation performances for the parallel-connected cells.
A battery pack in EVs or HEVs is formed by a multitude of cells connected in series or/and parallel to deliver the desired driving power and capacity. The uneven temperature distribution within the pack can lead to a mismatch of the internal resistance among cells, which is referred to as unbalanced discharging and aging.
If a lithium battery pack in your system has a low voltage, you must turn off power to the load. There is no alternative. @WhatRoughBeast Checking the low voltage limit wouldn't solve the reverse-biasing issue, would it?
Sounds like possibly a bad connection or BMS setting in the battery that has the low voltage drop (99%). This would cause the battery with the high voltage drop (20%) to supply the load. If you have a Multi Meter with a DC amp clamp check the current in the 2 wires going to the bus bars for a difference.
