Patent attributes
A battery management component for passive battery cell discharge is disclosed. The battery management component may determine that a charging operation associated with a battery has ended. The battery management component may identify, based on the charging operation ending, that a first cell of the battery has a first state of charge. The battery management component may determine that a second cell of the battery has a second state of charge that is outside of a threshold range of the first state of charge. The battery management component may determine, based on the first and second states of charge, an amount of energy to be removed from the first cell to enable the first state of charge to be within the threshold range of the second state of charge. The battery management component may discharge energy from the first cell based on the determined amount of energy.
