Our contractor thinks that the balancing of series stacked supercapacitors during charging is needed because of differences in leakage current. However, we keep telling him that charging of series stacks needs balancing due to the tolerance differences in capacitance from cell to cell. Do you agree? (When the charger goes onto "float charge", thenn the leakage current effects take over)
Also, the problems inherent to charging batteries in parallel with a single charging current source do not exist for paralleled supercapacitors. This is because if one paralleled supercapacitor hogs all the charging current then it will not overheat like a battery could. Do you agree?
