I have a question regarding electronic design; basically, I am working on a student project, and I am assigned the task of designing a 12V "battery box."
Each "battery box" is going to consist of four 12V packs wired in parallel. One complication is that there needs to be a microcontroller and circuitry to perform battery monitoring and protection. Additionally, another complication is that the packs need to be charged in series at 48V. Basically, the problem is that I lack a background in power electronics. I am not entirely sure what resources there are available to me to create this design, and I feel as though I am creating something that must have already been done before. My question then is this: Where can I go to find resources applicable to this design problem? I apologize if this is an inappropriate place to ask this question, but finding help is part of my difficulty. :) Thank you in advance for your help!
