CELL BALANCING APPARATUS, BATTERY APPARATUS INCLUDING THE SAME, AND CELL BALANCING METHOD

A cell balancing apparatus of a battery module in which a first battery cell, a plurality of second battery cells, and a third battery cell are connected in series is provided. A first terminal of a first inductor is connected to a negative electrode of the first battery cell, and a first terminal of a second inductor is connected to a positive electrode of the third battery cell. A first transistor is connected between a second terminal of the first inductor and a second terminal of the second inductor. A first active element is connected between a positive electrode of the first battery cell and the second terminal of the first inductor, and a second active element is connected between a negative electrode of the third battery cell and the second terminal of the second inductor.
