Battery Equalizer Circuits
In this entry, several battery equalizer circuits are reviewed and simulated. In addition, a table is presented where the main characteristics of the equalizers are summarized. These characteristics are used to assign a score to each circuit with respect to how many characteristics are similar to the ideal equalizer. Finally, a methodology is presented to compare these equalizers, taking into account the results obtained from the table.

Battery Life Prediction Methods Based on Electrochemical Models
Remaining useful life prediction is of great significance for battery safety and maintenance. The remaining useful life prediction method, based on a physical model, has wide applicability and high prediction accuracy, which is the research hotspot of the next generation battery life prediction method. An electrochemical model is a model built by simulating the electrochemical reaction process of a battery. It describes the laws of the cell from the point of view of internal physical and chemical processes including kinetic parameters, mass conversion processes, thermodynamic properties, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of materials.

Battery Management System
Renewable energy penetration and distributed generation are key for the transition towards more sustainable societies, but they impose a substantial challenge in terms of matching generation with demand due to the intermittent and unpredictable nature of some of these renewable energy sources. Thus, the role of energy storage in today’s and future electricity markets is undisputed. Batteries stand out among the different alternatives for energy storage.

Battery Management System Application
Electric Vehicles (EV) and Hybrid EV (HEV) use Lithium (Li) ion battery packs to drive them. These battery packs possess high specific density and low discharge rates. However, some of the limitations of such Li ion batteries are sensitivity to high temperature and health degradation over long usage. The Battery Management System (BMS) protects the battery against overvoltage, overcurrent etc., and monitors the State of Charge (SOC) and the State of Health (SOH). SOH is a complex phenomenon dealing with the effects related to aging of the battery such as the increase in the internal resistance and decrease in the capacity due to unwanted side reactions. The battery life can be extended by estimating the SOH accurately.

Battery Modelling Techniques
The battery modelling (BM) problem is a constrained, multi-dimensional, mixed variable, non-convex, non-linear optimisation problem. Many bio-inspired techniques have been successfully employed to estimate the battery parameters. When bio-inspired algorithms are implemented for COM to extract parameters in real time, then they are called grey box models.

Battery Safety
Battery safety is a prominent concern for the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs). The battery powering an EV contains highly energetic active materials and flammable organic electrolytes. Usually, an EV battery catches fire due to its thermal runaway, either immediately at the time of the accident or can take a while to gain enough heat to ignite the battery chemicals. There are numerous battery abuse testing standards and regulations available globally. Therefore, battery manufacturers are always in dilemma to choose the safest one. Henceforth, to find the optimal outcome of these two major issues, six standards (SAE J2464:2009, GB/T 31485-2015:2015, FreedomCAR:2006, ISO 12405-3:2014, IEC 62660-2:2010, and SAND2017-6295:2017) and two regulations (UN/ECE-R100.02:2013 and GTR 20:2018), that are followed by more than fifty countries in the world, are investigated in terms of their abuse battery testing conditions (crush test).

Battery Swapping Stations for Electric Vehicles
Battery Swapping Stations (BSS), refers to the rapid recovery of electric vehicle energy by replacing batteries when the electric vehicle energy is about to run out.  Figure 1 shows the structure of BSS. The Electric vehicle users only own cars and rent batteries from service operators, thus greatly reducing the purchase cost of electric vehicles and solving the problem of long charging times.

Battery Thermal Management of Electric Vehicles
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), as energy storage devices, are considered to have a significant role in determining the performance of electric vehicles (EVs). LIBs depend vastly on temperature for facilitating an optimum performance and lifetime, with the commonly suggested operating temperature being in the range from 25 to 40 °C. Operation at lower or higher temperatures than the range can adversely affect or degrade the performance and lifetime of LIBs. Lower-temperature operation with a high current rate leads to lithium plating on the anode, capacity loss, impedance rises, ionic conductivity decreases, and internal short circuits due to metallic lithium dendrites. Meanwhile, higher-temperature operation could reduce the active materials and increase the internal resistance, even for overly high temperatures, potentially causing thermal runaways that might prompt fires and explosions.
