That's not a bad idea. With the savings, I could easily afford an
extra battery for experimental purposes. I have a 300W load bank at
work I can use to get a discharge curve and to verify the reserve
capacity rating. Anyone have any ideas how I might (safely) test its
pulse discharge capability? I don't exactly have any 10kW 15mOhm
resistors kicking around, and the largest load bank I have access to
is only 1kW.
If I'm happy with what I see, I'll be the list's guinea pig for these
guys. I plan to build myself a lithium pack someday, but right now I
really just need to get the car on the road. Five years into this
project, I'm tired of it not being done.
