Abstract：A series lithium battery pack needs voltage equalization to ensure its life and safety. In this paper, a series voltage equalizing circuit of lithium battery based on multi-port transformer is proposed, which can realize the controllable voltage equalization through active and passive paths. And it can directly control the charging or discharging of specific batteries. Compared with the conventional congeneric methods, it requires no additional circuits. Also, the number of transformer windings and MOSFET is reduced by half. By modeling and analyzing the circuit, the constraint conditions of key parameters such as transformer turn ratio are determined. In addition, predicted voltage and lowest voltage control strategies are proposed based on the traditional average voltage control strategy. Finally, a voltage equalization prototype based on GaN MOSFET and planar multi-port transformer is designed for 24 series battery packs. It is shown that the proposed circuit and control strategies have good voltage equalizing speed and efficiency.
