[EVDL] Lee Hart Zener Regulator for Calb cells

Hi, I am wondering if anyone has adapted Lee Hart's Zener regulators for lithium cell use. I don't think the voltage of one cell is high enough to use this type of device on, but I think proper values can be found to regulate two cells in series. I would love to experiment with some of these

Re: [EVDL] EVLN: “Is this thing on?” Mastering the art of driving an EV

I would imagine this is not just a misunderstanding of the laws of physics. It probably also has to do with the guess-o-meter syndrome found in many EV's. We all know how hard it is to know exactly how much range you have left, and the OEM ev's face the same challenge, yet they often display

Re: [EVDL] Exploding cell

Welcome to the club! If you have never exploded a battery you have really missed out. My charger was just about finished up around midnight one night a few summers back. My truck was in my driveway out in front of my house. I did not have my battery box vented well enough and something must
