Yes, I think it is a good idea. I did get me 8 pcs of 26650-size LiFePO4 cells, 3Ah (peak/k2/dlg -ev cells)
Just by using 4 or 8 cells and playing with loggers and multimeters, charging /discharging at differewnt rates and temperatures, different rates and time at end of charge and so on, all that vill give a lot of "experience", get to know the "soul" of a LiFePO4 -chem, and it costs almost no money to do so. /John ---------------------------------------- > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2014 12:38:01 -0400 > Subject: Re: [EVDL] self-discharge of CALB 180Ah LiFePO4 cells > > On 22 Apr 2014 at 9:06, tomw wrote: > >> I also agree with Jukka's other comment regarding new people.
