Abstract
An apparatus is provided that includes a first terminal to couple to a first node of a stacked battery pack having a first cell block and a second cell block, a second terminal to couple to a second node between the first cell block and the second cell block, and a voltage management circuit to detect an output voltage at the second terminal and to adjust energy within the battery pack based on the output voltage to be detected at the second terminal.
