ABSTRACT:
A battery pack and method for connecting battery modules to optimize current sharing and charging of the modules. The battery pack comprises a number of battery modules, each module having respective positive and negative terminals. Interconnecting cables are provided for connecting the respective positive terminals and the respective negative terminals. The interconnecting cables have equal electrical lengths so that the Ohmic resistance is the same for the cables. The battery modules are also arranged in close proximity to form an isothermal zone.
