A:The working principle and function are as followings:
When your one cell voltage was reached balance voltage(Li-ion 4.18V, LifePo4 3.6V), that cell balance start work, balance resistance starts discharge with 35mA, that cell was in both charging and discharging status, and other cells were not reached balance voltage(Li-ion 4.18V, Life Po43.6V), so they are only in charging status, when the fast cell voltage was reached overcharge voltage (Li-ion 4.25V, Life Po4 3.75V),BMS starts off power protection, all the cells are stop charging, this process will enable your battery charging in balance current, and your battery voltage are in balance status.
However, if your cell voltage difference are in a big range, The equilibrium effect is almost zero,The solution is to replace cells with large voltage gaps.
