Passive balancing isn’t as “simple” as it looks

Many assume passive balancing = safe + reliable.

But in practice:

Heat dissipation becomes a bottleneck
Balance current is often too low for large packs
Timing strategy matters more than hardware

📌 Observation:
In multi-cell packs, imbalance is often driven by temperature gradients, not capacity differences.

👉 Design tip:
Balance control logic > resistor selection.

AI’s next bottleneck may not be chips.

It may be electricity.

Our latest feature argues the AI race is becoming an infrastructure race — and that batteries, grid flexibility, substations, and power delivery could matter more than many expected.
