Dear All, I have been given a task to design a battery charger for SAFT batteries in series. There are 170 batteries in series. The charge current is 12Amps.(6A above a level) The discharge current is 120 Amps. I have never dealt with high currents before. The charge voltage is 170
*2.1 = 357 volts. I consider to use LM350's in parallel to limit the charge current but will they withstand such a high voltage? Any suggestions for the circuit? And how am I going to limit the discharge current to 120A? Any Ideas? Thanks- posted
