I made this amazing battery pack using 18650 cells, performing about 3X better than a LiPo battery of roughly the same weight ...

The importance of keeping temperature constant in an environmental chamber. Proper test results means the cell's interior must be at a setpoint temperature. Issues with testing cells at room ...

The TAM IV Microcalorimeter is an advanced analytical instrument designed to analyze the thermal behavior of samples at regulated temperatures. The BioLogic VSP-300 Potentiostat is a research-grade ...

You can salvage lithium 18650 cells from all sorts of modern gadgets, from disposable vapes to cordless power tools. The tricky part, other than physically liberating ...

Lithium-ion cells deliver very high energy densities compared to many other battery technologies, but they bring with them a danger of fire or explosion if they are misused. We’re mostly aware of the ...

System designers have a bifurcated relationship with battery cells based on lithium chemistries. On one side, they appreciate and need the high energy density by weight and volume offered by these ...
