I have been thinking of a design for series battery packs and the
charging of them. What I envision is custom wiring of the pack (other
then its series connection) with each cell having additional wire
(positive and negative terminals) feeding to a charge controller
circuit. The charge controller will then charge each cell independent
of the pack and stop the charge current when that cell peaks. Also for
each cell in the pack, place a reversed biased diode to limit and
reverse charging to the diode drop voltage when the pack is
discharging or even when each cell gets fully charged and the others
are still charging. Has this scheme been tried or is in use now?
All comments welcome. JTT
