MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611024042 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Feb. 28, for 'predictive active cell balancing system with real-time battery state monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Sunny Vig; Dr. Prashant Kumar; Dr. Rishabh Dev Shukla; and Dr. Harvinder Singh.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an intelligent active cell balancing system for battery packs used in electric vehicles. The system is configured to actively equalize charge among individual electrochemical cells by transferring energy from higher-charged cells to lower-charged cells using bidirectional power conversion circuits, thereby minimizing energy dissipation and thermal losses. A control and monitoring unit continuously measures cell voltage and temperature and estimates state-of-charge parameters to detect imbalance conditions within the battery pack. Based on real-time operating conditions, the control unit selectively controls the balancing circuits to redistribute energy until a predefined balance condition is achieved. The system further incorporates thermal-aware and safety control mechanisms to ensure reliable operation under varying load conditions. The modular and scalable architecture of the invention enhances energy efficiency, improves battery safety, and extends the operational lifespan of electric vehicle battery packs."
