1. An apparatus, comprising:
a controller configured to:
control a power converter configured to convert between a first voltage and a second voltage different than the first voltage;
exchange signaling with each module-level battery management system of a plurality of module-level battery management systems, each of the plurality of module-level battery management systems configured to implement a set of module-level battery management functions for a respective battery module of a string of battery modules, wherein the string of battery modules is configured to collectively receive power from or output power to the power converter at the first voltage; and
implement a set of string-level battery management functions for the string of battery modules based at least in part on exchanging the signaling with each module-level battery management system of the plurality of module-level battery management systems.
