Described herein are techniques and mechanisms for modules in a battery stack to provide backup power to their neighbor modules thereby permitting the neighboring cell to activate bypass switches, which can effectively remove a module's associated battery cells from the charge/discharge loop and permit the battery to continue safe operations. This mechanism can be a cost-effective technique of providing backup power.
