Is there a better - updated video available that explains the cells better?Wow - that looks like a very old video, a lot of things he talks about have proven over time to be incorrect.
It was disappointing that he didn’t expand on the SEI formation of the A123 cells, seemed like he wasn’t privvy to their method.
Still some good basic information though, took me back to when i first started looking at LiFePO4 cells in 2010.
I imagine my eyes would glaze over just as well with a new 4k video as they did on the low rez older one posted aboveIs there a better - updated video available that explains the cells better?
Not that I know of. I get my information directly from cell designers / manufacturers. Over the years I’ve seen too many people follow information from this type of video and prematurely destroy cells. Unfortunately often tens of thousands of people end up circle jerking over information presented in this way making it very difficult to correct.Is there a better - updated video available that explains the cells better?
I feel a majority of the members on the forum would know all three of these statements are 'patently wrong' however, in the absence of a more up to date video, most of the general public would not know this.- cell over / under voltage limits. “You won’t harm a cell unless you go over 4V or under 1V”
- cell temperatures. “You won’t harm a cell even if you charge it at -20°C, and up to 60°C”
- Matched cells in series don’t need BMS cell level intervention (admittedly very few manufacturers were using cell level balancing in EV’s at that time, most do now)
Point being there are plenty of current videos and forum information that is also ‘patently wrong’, yet widely circulated as truth - even on this forum. When this happens, it is very difficult to correct as it was with the information in that video a decade ago.I feel a majority of the members on the forum would know all three of these statements are 'patently wrong' however, in the absence of a more up to date video, most of the general public would not know this.
Where we see errors and have documentation to combat it, we each should take the time to correct patently wrong information and bring the forum to a higher level of understanding.there are plenty of current videos and forum information that is also ‘patently wrong’, yet widely circulated as truth - even on this forum.
