14/07/09 Achievements

These are the things I did today:
  • Discovered the "true" danger of LiPo batteries (fire etc).
  • Researched LiPo charging (not "set and leave")
  • Found the "perfect" BMS for LifPO4 batteries
  • Went to Enzed (pressure fittings) and got the parts for vacuum machinery
  • Hooked up the vacuum with the tank, and got it working (hooray)
  • Researched battery charging.

Steps still required:

  1. Check SLA weights (possible ?)
  2. Check power supplies (economical ?)
  3. What will be the delay with Headway cells ? (email Victoria at Headway)
  4. Check Thundersky weights (alterntive ?)
  5. Complete list of the two system costing (LiPo -vs- Headway)
  6. Complete list of benefits / disadvantages of both systems
