Hey!
I'm trying to harvest information on the advantages/disadvantages of different volt systems in battery builds.
As I have 100x 18650 li-ion cells of 3000mah each to play with, I'm trying to determine what's the best set up.
I've been dwelling over a 12v 4s set up or a 24v 7s set up.
I understand that it depends on the application of the battery,
but I guess what I'm looking for is the best all round option, if there is any.
To start off with I'll be powering 12v devices. But for the future I have plans to get an inverter and hook up other devices too.
It's worth mentioning that I have a DC step up-step down converter at hand (from 4v to 35v, and 0.1a to 5a), if that makes any difference I am not sure.
My question in a nutshell would be , does a 24v battery miss out on a lot of capacity/ampH if only powering 12v devices?
Thanks!
