I spent a little bit of time searching and couldn't find any resources for this.
I've made several solar panels from damaged solar cells sandwiched with glass and eva and they are still working years later.
They are UGLY but they work. So I'm curious, is it possible to make an oversized, hideous, rediculous looking home-brewed LiFePO4 battery?
After seeing videos of spikes shoved in these batteries and the spike-drivers being OK I'm wondering if this may be a safe chemistry to "play" with?
Before you flame me, I'm not talking about a refined nano-meter production or even successfully something that can initially power a home.
I'm thinking 1st stab, something that can run some LEDs and be rechargeable; maybe 5AH and gigantic. Basically the Potato battery of LFP.
I have a homemade (copied and mod'd from online) PWM charge controller, PIC controlled, I could could change the code/components to handle something more specific like this.
Thanks in advance for any ideas, links, etc.
