The answer you seek will only come in time. Tom's can give you #s that has worked for him for over 10 years. I can give #s that have worked for 6 years. Another will give #s that worked for X amount of years. Only time will give the exact voltage everyone seems to seek.
It is chemically impossible to simulate degradation of LiFePO4. The only way to simulate long term low C rate degradation is by using the cell long term at low C rates.
I'm not trying to just pick on
@Sojourner1 and
@toms, but what they are saying doesn't make sense. "It is
chemically impossible to simulate". What? Simulations are based on extrapolation of what we know. There is no "chemical" limitation to simulation.
If I'm to understand what these guys are saying, we can't predict anything until we have lived it.
Astrophysicists will be disappointed that we can't even attempt to project when the sun will explode, until it does.
The weatherman will have to admit he has no idea what the weather will be tomorrow. When it does snow, then he will know. Oh well.
I am
certain that
@toms and maybe
@Sojourner1 (I have no idea) have something useful to contribute to this noble thread. Good on
@Go2Guy for taking this on, as I'm not sure any of us would have tried. In hindsight, this seems like some sort of hazing: No one knows anything until they suffer through it, and then those who have learned the hard way don't look back and try to help those who are struggling up the mountain.
There is a load of good info here to find, but telling everyone to just "search" and learn the hard way seems unnecessary and cruel.
This is frustrating. Again, I applaud
@Go2Guy for trying, and
@curiouscarbon for having the consistent positive outlook. I'm out.
