For many years I've read that high current charging depreciates any battery faster than lower current charging. The exception is lead batteries, where some (possibly short) period of initial high current "slam" can actually extend cycle life. Back in the 1990s, Hawker used to recommend 1C to

Yes, unfortunate and well known (as well as outrageous, IMO). But would it have been worse if you used DC charging more than once a week, as they warned against? - Mark Sent from my Fuel Cell powered iPhone > On Mar 17, 2020, at 12:54 PM, Willie via EV wrote: > >  > >> On 3/17/20 12:26

I have a very small PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cell from a hydrogen fuel cell science kit I got when I was much younger. I wonder if it is any more efficient at converting water/electricity into H2/O2. You could theoretically just capture the H2 it produces, then feed it back to the PEM

The oxygen concentrators use Zeolite; it absorbs nitrogen under pressure; the result is air at over 90% oxygen. The pressure is dropped and the nitrogen escapes into the room and the process happens again. If you were in the tire business, this is how you get the nitrogen for tires and exhaust

The link worked just fine for me. I find that their results are astoundingly bad. Even with their "better" charging method, they claim a battery is end of life after 36 charge cycles. Excuse me! Anyone else find that not quite right? I wonder what they were doing to those poor batteries to
