Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a battery cell balancing circuit including: a battery cell module including a plurality of battery cells connected in series; a series resonant circuit including an inductor unit and a capacitor unit which are connected in series so as to store electric energy recovered from a corresponding battery cell of the battery cell module and supply the stored electric energy to a corresponding battery cell of the battery cell module; and a switch unit configured to provide an electric energy recovery path for storing the electric energy recovered from the corresponding battery cell of the battery cell module into the capacitor unit of the series resonant circuit and provide an electric energy supply path for supplying the stored electric energy to the corresponding battery cell of the battery cell module.
