I want to hold a group of cells at constant voltage (anywhere from 3.0V to 3.6V). I plan to hold them in parallel so I can use a single power supply. Once the cells reach stabilization at their designated voltage the current should reduce to under 1mA. The problem is if a cell shorts out it will slowly short out the other cells too! I need a reliable solution to drop one cell from the circuit if it shorts out (soft or hard short).
So, I want something to detect an anomaly in the current being requested by each cell that will break it off. I'd like to hear your ideas; any help is greatly appreciated! More details if needed.
