Selection guide

Which balancer do I need?

Four questions decide it: how many cells in series, how much current you can afford to move, whether you want to control it from a phone, and whether the pack can spare a few milliamps of standby draw.

1

Do you want to see and set it?

The Smart Active Balancer is the only line with Bluetooth, live cell voltages and an app-set balance current. It also cascades past 24S over a TTL bus.

2

Can the pack spare standby current?

A smart balancer draws roughly 0.5 W continuously and needs a supply. Capacitor and inductor boards run purely on the pack and idle at 7–18 mA and 10 µA respectively.

3

How fast must it balance?

Order the lines by current: inductor 2 A peak, capacitor 5.5 A peak, smart balancer up to 15 A constant. A 2 A transfer closes a 3 Ah cell gap overnight; 15 A does it in an afternoon.

Still not sure? Enter your pack numbers.

Chemistry, series count and pack capacity are enough — the finder ranks every compatible model and says why the rest were ruled out. Or send us the numbers, including how long a cell has been drifting, and we will reply with a model, a current setting and a wiring diagram — usually within one working day.

Passive versus active, in one table

Bleeder resistor (passive)NEEY active balancing
Where the energy goes Burned as heat at the strongest cell Moved into the weakest cell
Typical current 0.05 A – 0.2 A 2 A – 15 A depending on line
Heat in the pack Yes — adds to thermal load Negligible
Large packs Cannot close a gap measured in Ah Designed for 30 Ah – 300 Ah
Visibility None Live cell voltages, currents and temperature
Cost Lowest Higher board cost, offsets in pack lifetime

Smart Active Balancer

App-controlled, supercapacitor transfer, adjustable constant current. All four models share the same firmware feature set — you are choosing current and board size.

Capacitor balancer boards

Whole-pack simultaneous balancing with no external supply and no configuration. One board covers a range of cell counts — the “supports” column is what a single board can be wired to.
