Are there any online resources if one is interested in how to write a battery management system? Suppose I have some battery packs around, I want to learn how to properly connect them to a home grid.

This is an open source BMS if you want to see how it's done. https://github.com/Teslafly/OpenBMS

Otherwise, there are lots of BMS's you can just buy a hook up to raw cells.

I've come across diy powerwalls that have battery management, but haven't looked in 3 years
