gEDA-user: design problem question

[Jonathan Starr <jstarr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a question regarding electronic design; basically, I am working
on a student project, and I am assigned the task of designing a 12V
"battery box."

Each "battery box" is going to consist of four 12V packs wired in
parallel. One complication is that there needs to be a microcontroller
and circuitry to perform battery monitoring and protection.
Additionally, another complication is that the packs need to be charged
in series at 48V. 

Basically, the problem is that I lack a background in power electronics.
I am not entirely sure what resources there are available to me to
create this design, and I feel as though I am creating something that
must have already been done before. 

My question then is this: Where can I go to find resources applicable to
this design problem?

I apologize if this is an inappropriate place to ask this question, but
finding help is part of my difficulty. :) Thank you in advance for your
help!

Kindest regards,
