Abstract

Impedance measurement of battery cells within a battery system comprising at least one string of battery cells is accomplished by dividing each of the strings into at least two portions. A loading current for measurement purposes is only imposed on a portion of one of the strings at any given time and battery cell voltage measurements are made only within this string portion.
