Method and system for battery management including bypassing battery cells in a battery pack

A method comprising:

• determining, by a control circuit, whether a capacity of a battery cell of a battery pack is less than a predefined threshold;
• in response to determining that the capacity of the battery cell is less than the predefined threshold, executing, by the control circuit, a bypass sequence for the battery cell, wherein the bypass sequence involves:
• determining, based on the capacity of the battery cell, a bypass period for which to bypass the battery cell;
• and
• transmitting a bypass signal configured to cause a battery cell section associated with the battery cell to be bypassed for the bypass period;
• determining, by the control circuit, that the bypass period for the battery cell has finished;
• and
• in response to determining that the bypass period for the battery cell has finished, executing, by the control circuit, an activation sequence for the battery cell, the activation sequence being configured to allow current flow to the battery cell.

A method comprising:

• determining, by a first control circuit associated with a first battery pack, that a battery cell of the first battery pack is to be bypassed for a bypass period based on a capacity of the battery cell;
• and
• in response to determining that the battery cell is to be bypassed for the bypass period:
• executing, by the first control circuit, a first bypass sequence configured to bypass the battery cell for the bypass period;
• and
• transmitting, by the first control circuit, a bypass notification to a second control circuit associated with a second battery pack.
