Battery pack with series or parallel identification signal

This invention describes a battery system made of several individual battery packs. Each pack has a controller and a special circuit that can tell if the packs are connected end-to-end (series) or side-by-side (parallel). The system determines the connection type by comparing voltage levels from different parts of the circuit, specifically identifying a series connection if one output voltage is higher than another.

Why it matters: Since 2022, the increasing adoption of modular and reconfigurable battery systems has heightened the need for automatic configuration detection to ensure safety and adaptive power management.
