Thanks. I've lurked for quite a while, but figured I should register since I am now replacing my Ryobi lawn mower SLA batteries with a DIY Lifepo, whenever they come in. Wide-bandgap semiconductors are definitely better (size/weight/power density/temperature) than Silicon in power...

SiC really shines in medium (100s of V) to high voltage (kV) applications and high temperature applications. Otherwise, the cost advantage and maturity of Si processes (IGBTs) are working against SiC's influence for the cost-sensitive market. Though, to be honest, it was a few years ago when I...
