First, we try a standard lithium-ion pouch battery pack -- no SafeCore material inside. As the nail goes in, it's astounding how quickly the battery reacts. It bulges like a balloon, bursts with a puff of smoke, shoots out flying reddish sparks and finally explodes into a huge column...
A lithium-ion battery (LIB) is an advanced battery technology that uses lithium-ions as a key component of its electrochemistry. In the early 1990s, LIBs were mainly produced for consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, and digital cameras. After 2011, LIBs began to be incr...
To reach our intended voltage of 36V, we have to connect a number of 18650 cells in series. Lithium-ion battery cells are nominally rated at 3.6 or 3.7V, meaning to reach 36V nominal, we’ll need 10 cells in series. The industry abbreviation for series is ‘s’, so this pack will b...
