I just completed a Lithium installation on my 65 Datsun.
I'm resetting the parameters on my Link-10 E-Meter, and was curious what
Puekert Exponent people were using.
Based on what I've read, I was tempted to use 1.00, but wasn't sure if this was
right.
Have (50) 180 ah CALB CA series cells, nominal 160V, 28.8 Kw pack.
It's definitely not 1.0. Any battery with an internal resistance greater
than zero will have a Peukert exponent greater than 1.
Your best bet is to use the Link-10 to measure the actual capacity of
the pack at two different rates of discharge. There's an equation in the
manual to calculate the Peukert exponent from that data.
