Abstract

Electrochemical cell and battery management systems are generally provided. The systems can comprise an electrochemical cell and a controller. In some cases, the controller can be used to control various aspects of the charge and/or discharge of the electrochemical cell. In some cases, the system can comprise one or more strings of cells.
