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...
Why Jehu recommends using LiFePO4 batteries
LiFePO4 batteries have been around for a long time, but only recently have become cost-effective and accessible for DIY applications. One major advantage that LiFePO4 has over lithium-ion chemistries is its thermal and chemical stability, which means improved battery safety. Here's a list of why Jehu Garcia recommends using LiFePO4 batteries...
