通常，鋰電池均衡方法只用于電(dian)(dian)(dian)動汽(qi)車電(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)的充(chong)電(dian)(dian)(dian)過程以及(ji)充(chong)電(dian)(dian)(dian)完成。這是(shi)因為，電(dian)(dian)(dian)動汽(qi)車電(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)在(zai)兩次使用周期之間會(hui)被充(chong)滿電(dian)(dian)(dian)。而混(hun)合動力汽(qi)車電(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)不(bu)一定會(hui)保持充(chong)滿電(dian)(dian)(dian)的狀(zhuang)態，因此(ci)混(hun)合動力汽(qi)車電(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)的充(chong)電(dian)(dian)(dian)結束(shu)條件以及(ji)由此(ci)制定的平(ping)衡機(ji)制是(shi)不(bu)可(ke)預(yu)知的。

混合動力汽(qi)車(che)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)也需要高(gao)功(gong)率的充放電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)能(neng)力。因此，這(zhe)些電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)量(liang)(liang)通常保(bao)持(chi)在一定的剩余電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)量(liang)(liang)百分(fen)比，這(zhe)樣電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)可以在放出汽(qi)車(che)所需要的電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)量(liang)(liang)的同(tong)時有足夠的容量(liang)(liang)接受必要的再生(sheng)(sheng)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)量(liang)(liang)。為了達到電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)均(jun)衡而對混合動力汽(qi)車(che)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)進行(xing)完全充電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)會降(jiang)低其電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)量(liang)(liang)接受能(neng)力（再生(sheng)(sheng)制動）。

電荷分流

電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)荷分(fen)(fen)(fen)流(liu)(liu)(liu)的(de)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)均衡(heng)方法(fa)在每一(yi)個電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)單(dan)元充(chong)(chong)滿電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)的(de)時候選(xuan)擇性的(de)將(jiang)它(ta)們的(de)充(chong)(chong)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)流(liu)(liu)(liu)分(fen)(fen)(fen)流(liu)(liu)(liu)。這種(zhong)方法(fa)在已(yi)知電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)系統的(de)充(chong)(chong)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)速率的(de)時候最有效(xiao)。分(fen)(fen)(fen)流(liu)(liu)(liu)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)阻(zu)R的(de)大(da)小由達(da)到完全充(chong)(chong)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)的(de)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)壓(ya)V時的(de)分(fen)(fen)(fen)流(liu)(liu)(liu)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)流(liu)(liu)(liu)I決(jue)定。如果(guo)充(chong)(chong)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)流(liu)(liu)(liu)降低，電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)阻(zu)R會(hui)使(shi)分(fen)(fen)(fen)流(liu)(liu)(liu)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)池(chi)(chi)放電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)。為(wei)了避免電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)阻(zu)R產生極大(da)的(de)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)量損耗，這種(zhong)方法(fa)最好用于以(yi)小電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)流(liu)(liu)(liu)結束充(chong)(chong)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)的(de)增強電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)流(liu)(liu)(liu)的(de)充(chong)(chong)電(dian)(dian)(dian)(dian)過程中(zhong)。

這種(zhong)(zhong)電(dian)荷分流方法的缺點(dian)是必須要(yao)有大耗散電(dian)阻，大電(dian)流開關(guan)以(yi)及良好的散熱(re)環境。這種(zhong)(zhong)方法最(zui)適用于以(yi)小電(dian)流充電(dian)的電(dian)池系(xi)統。
