The problem with using different battery packs in parallel is that unless the batteries are charged to similar voltages, they could generate a very high and potentially dangerous amount of current
High Current Power Supply: Safety Concerns. High current power can do a lot of damage to electronics when incorrectly applied, and it can cause even more damage to a person. Discharging at high rates for an extended period of time will generate heat in the battery due to the internal resistance that can cause a fire or explosion. Properly

Choose a series connection to add voltage and make a battery bank. A series connection combines the voltage of the 2 connected batteries to create a bank of batteries that you can draw power from. A battery bank still keeps the same amperage rating, or amp hours, so if 2 batteries have 6 volts and 10 amps each and are joined together in a series, they will then
Some devices will work about the same at any battery voltage above a minimum threshold, and draw about the same current regardless of voltage. All of the batteries in series will get depleted at the same rate regardless of how many there are, but the level of depletion required to make the device unusable will be extended by having more batteries in series. For
There are a variety of current sensing technologies that can monitor the status of an HEV or EV battery. The solution varies with the voltage and capacity of the battery. As shown in Figure 1, there are two main locations where you can measure current: top of stack (high-side sensing) and bottom of stack (low-side sensing). Figure 1.

$begingroup$ Low value of the current measurement resistor is determined by several factors. The main one is that you select it low enough so that the voltage drop across it is not so high as to significantly affect your load. Too big a voltage change at your load can change its current draw and if too much could cause some loads to
One way to significantly shorten the time of reaction is to use mechanically triggered mechanisms. Compared with the active material layer, 26–29 in an electrode, the current collector is much more critical for ISC formation, 30 since it accounts for more than 90% of the electrode strength and electrical conductivity.

The feedback loop to the PWM controller (which is operating at mains/high voltage) is usually done with an opto-coupler so there is complete isolation between the high voltage and low voltage sides. You may be able to skip that

The surface/interface of current collectors in lithium batteries is gradually becoming one of the key factors to improve the overall performance. The thickness, material composition, surface morphology, and intrinsic properties of current collectors are crucial for understanding chemo-mechanical changes during electrochemical reactions.
However, little work has been devoted to the inactive components such as current collectors (CC), which are nonetheless key elements for the battery operation. In particular investigations of the role of the positive aluminum (Al) current collector vs. the mechanisms of battery degradation are scarce .
Conventional current collectors, Al and Cu foils have been used since the first commercial lithium-ion battery, and over the past two decades, the thickness of these current collectors has decreased in order to increase the energy density.
Typically, electroactive material is applied onto the current collectors together with binders, conductivity additives, and other processing additives. Current collectors for lithium-based cells are typically in the form of thin foils. Meshes, etched and coated foils have been used among others to improve adhesion of the electrode material.
