where ca i purchase this? i cant find it anywhere.
Unfortunately we can’t get the chips for them so they are temporarily discontinued.

Take a look at the following MOSFET. It is normally in stock. I would run a couple in parallel as they are basically free.

I am having trouble finding an ideal battery controller.
So I think I can have the MOFET sold at Pololu connected to each battery.
Am I thinking right?
The device from Pololu appears to just be a load switch, so it only switches the input voltage on/off manually. It will not safely combine 2 battery’s in parallel like an Ideal Diode will.
The pololu MOSFETs are equipped with Reverse Voltage Protection.
I hope connecting this MOSFET to each battery will prevent circulating current.
Of course, this MOSFET does not have a low voltage protection function, so I need to monitor the three battery voltages using an Arduino or something similar, and use the MOSFET to cut off the electricity from the battery that is at low voltage.
I would like to know if there is any circulating current protection in parallel battery connection.
