Hello,
If I need to measure the voltage of each individual cell in a battery pack (with series connected four Li-ion cells each has a nominal voltage of 3.7v), I can connect the -ve pole of the battery pack to GND and the +ve pole of cell 1,2,3,4 to A0,A1,A2,A3 respectively with suitable voltage dividers, and then calculate the voltage of each cell by doing simple subtraction. This method is workable, but measurement errors will add up with cell 4 having the total of all errors.
I don't know how I can use the differentiator method as the voltage of the +ve poles of cell 2,3,4 are all greater than 5v.
Is there any other way to measure the voltage of each cell in a battery pack that is more accurate than the method I mentioned above?
Thank you.
