• Bob Galyen was a former executive for CATL, a huge Chinese battery maker. He also holds patents for filling lead acid batteries and an active battery network.
• Anton Whalman is a notorious, Tesla, SHORT advocate.

Bob Galyen sounds interesting but I really have no interest in Whalman (*).

Bob Wilson

* - By doing the opposite of Whalman and an earlier guest "Montana Skeptic", I paid off my Tesla Model 3 and still have my original 401k investment in TSLA stock. Find the stupidest person and do the opposite.

A cell management system and method for balancing energy across a plurality of cells coupled to a circuit bus. The system can include a transformer, two transformer switches, and for each cell, a first switch pair allowing transfer of energy between the transformer and the cell, and a second switch pair allowing removal or inclusion of the cell in the serial connection of cells. The system can include an energy storage device, a switch pair allowing transfer of energy between the transformer and the storage device, and for each cell, a third switch pair allowing transfer of energy between the storage device and the cell. The system can include cell, bus and storage device sensors and state estimators. The system can include a controller that controls the transformer switches, cell switches, and storage device switches based on the sensor readings and states.

(this one has schematics)

If so, it is 'weak tea.' The SHORTs have a problem with reality so they "invent sh*t" on the fly.
