1. A battery system comprising:
- M battery subpacks that are connected in parallel and that include battery control modules that calculate power values for said battery subpacks;
a control module that receives said power values from said M battery subpacks and that calculates a power value for said battery system based on a power level of one of said battery subpacks times a first factor, wherein said first factor is equal to a sum of one plus ratios of power values of others of said M battery subpacks divided by said power value of said one of said battery subpacks.

Abstract
A battery system according to some implementations of the present invention comprises M battery subpacks that are connected in parallel and that include battery control modules that calculate power values for the battery subpacks. A control module receives the power values from the M battery subpacks and calculates a power value for the battery system based on a power level of one of the battery subpacks times a first factor. The first factor is equal to a sum of one plus ratios of power values of others of the M battery subpacks divided by the power value of the one of the battery subpacks.
