Hello,
I'm currently working on a the power management system for a solar power blimp. My problem is this. I want to have several battery packs (4S A123s) in parallel from which I can flip a switch and discharge (make it run a motor or whatever load I need) one pack and flip another switch and charge (through a solar charger) another pack. Ideally I would not be physically switching but have my Microcontroller do the switching based on which battery pack is dead and which is ready to go. I've tried for about a week now to get it to work with MOSFETS but I can't get even the load side of the circuit to be correct. Anyone have any good idea?
