How to Calculate Your Energy Usage for Going Solar
Calculating the discharge rate of a lithium-ion battery
The more you know about working with lithium ion batteries, the better. One important thing to know about your battery is it's discharge rate. Calculating the discharge rate of a lithium-ion battery is useful for several reasons: Battery life: The discharge rate can affect the battery's lifespan. Discharging a battery at a high rate can generate heat and reduce the battery's capacity and lifespan, while discharging at a low rate can improve the battery's lifespan but may not provide enough power for certain applications. By calculating the discharge rate, you can choose the appropriate discharge rate for your specific application...
Can I charge my lithium-ion battery with solar panels?
Is it OK to mix batteries with different voltages?
Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in many of our electronic devices and can be used to build all sorts of cool electrical devices, but it’s important to be aware that these are governed by some basic electrical principles, and that neglecting to follow those principles can pose significant dangers.So, is it OK to mix batteries with different voltages? No, generally speaking. You may ask: "But why? I have a 36v battery and a 48v battery, can't I just combine them together for more power?" Mixing different battery voltages can be harmful because the voltage levels are not compatible. Using batteries with different voltages can...
Jehu's Charging Tips for Lithium Ion Batteries
Lithium-ion batteries require care to safely achieve the maximum battery life span. Battery charging is a key piece of knowledge that is required for making sure your lithium batteries last long, remain safe, and perform well. What do I need to know about charging lithium ion batteries?Charging stored batteriesIt's important to know that it is recommended to not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time, either in a product or in storage. Have a battery that has been unused for 6 months? Check the charge status and charge it. If you notice any corrosion, sweating/discoloration or chemical smells, dispose...
