Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for diagnosing an abnormality in a cell balancing circuit in a battery pack including a plurality of cells corresponding to each cell balancing circuit. The present disclosure turns off cell balancing switches included in a cell balancing circuit to be diagnosed and an adjacent cell balancing circuit among the cell balancing circuits. Also, the present disclosure stores a voltage value between nodes of the cell (hereinafter referred to as a ‘diagnosis voltage value’) by turning on the cell balancing switch of the cell balancing circuit to be diagnosed. Also, the present disclosure calculates a difference value between adjacent cell voltage values (hereinafter referred to as a ‘cell difference value’) and a difference value between adjacent diagnosis voltage values (hereinafter referred to as a ‘diagnosis difference value’).
