Hello Ti Experts ,
I need a product recommendation for the following problem statement.
Two or multiple batteries would be connected in parallel. Lets stick to 2 batteries for starters. Battery 1 and Battery 2 would be in parallel. Vbat min = 41 V and Vbat Max = 57.6V. If both the batteries are at different SoC Levels like Battery 1 is at 80% SoC and Battery 2 is at 20% SoC and if parallel operation is needed, there would be a huge inrush and circulating current since it is an LFP pack, assume per cell resistance of 0.7mOhm and 16 cells are in series which make effective resistance of almost 11.2 mOhm plus the busbar resistance which is still unknown.
For ease of calculation, let battery 1 = 48V and battery 2 = 42V.
My goal is
Battery 1 should charge battery 2 to an equilibrium level.
The charging current limit should be limited to 20Amps continuous .
The maximum charging current in worst can be 100 Amps for 500 milli-seconds.
The charging limits can be configurable.
For majority of the hotswap controllers (Like LM5066) that I researched, the output was a load,but incase the input and output both will be batteries, hence I need some guidance on how to proceed on this.
I understand that there has to be a Firmware Control that checks voltage of 2 battery packs and allows paralleling operation if only the delta is less like 200 - 300 mV, but in this case that is not possible currently.
Thanks and Regards,
Vraj
