This study introduces a method for determining current distribution during the charging of modules composed of parallel-connected lithium-ion battery cells exhibiting varying levels of degradation. . Parallel batteries connect multiple batteries by linking their positive terminals together and negative terminals together, forming a battery network with the same voltage but significantly increased capacity and current output capability. However, a frequent observation is that these parallel packs don't share the charging and discharging current equally. Although extreme currents and temperatures are detrimental to the performance and lifetime of battery cells, there is not a consensus on the scale of typical imbalances. . When batteries are connected in parallel, the capacity increases. Four batteries in series/parallel.
