Do I have to use isolated DC converters for that design or single DC SFDC CONVERTERS'

Simple schematic for a LiFePO4 4 cells module balancer

this design is to use like simple and active cell balancing system in 4 cells module stackable

Because your converters have to be referenced to separate batteries, then yes, absolutely they need to be isolated. If they aren't, they will connect the negative ends of each battery to each other and to ground.

  • \$\begingroup\$ thanks for your answer, that design is for use on an active cell balancing system. Actually the use of bidirectional converters is too difficult for mi budget and knowledge capacity, really cool best regards \$\endgroup\$ – legerme Jun 11 '15 at 22:53
