Patent attributes
A battery pack may include: a plurality of cell stacks; a plurality of monitoring circuits configured to detect voltages of a plurality of cells included in a corresponding cell stack among the cell stacks; a plurality of current measurement circuits configured to measure current consumption of a corresponding monitoring circuit among the monitoring circuits; a plurality of current adjustment circuits configured to adjust a discharge current of a corresponding cell stack among the cell stacks; and a battery controller configured to receive a current consumption measurement result of the monitoring circuits from the current measurement circuits, to calculate current consumption deviation between the monitoring circuits based on the current consumption measurement result of the monitoring circuits, and to control the current adjustment circuits based on the current consumption deviation.
