Hello.
We are using BQ76PL455AQ1 IC for monitoring and passive balancing of our battery pack which is of 12P14S configuration. The balancing current required is 150mA. From my understanding, the balancing current is dictated by the value of the balancing resistor. I needed help in finding the value of the resistance that would be required by us for a balancing current of 150mA.
The calculations done by me so far are:
Nominal Cell Voltage: 3.7V
Required Balancing current: 0.15A
Therefore, value of resistor : 3.7/0.15= 24.6. Approximately: 25ohm
Is this the right way to go about it?
