Description
Technical Field

[0002] Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries are lithium-ion batteries that use lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as the positive electrode material and carbon as the negative electrode material. To meet the charging requirements of LiFePO4 batteries in series, existing charging protection circuits for LiFePO4 batteries generally use related charging chips to charge the series-connected LiFePO4 batteries and automatically disconnect the power when the series-connected LiFePO4 batteries are fully charged. However, due to certain performance differences among individual LiFePO4 batteries, the time it takes for the individual LiFePO4 batteries in series to fully charge is different, which leads to overcharging of the first LiFePO4 battery to fully charge, thereby reducing the lifespan of the series-connected LiFePO4 batteries.
