carbon foam batteries in Canada

GordonThree,

How do you get the "light discharge" information?

-30, and heavy.

I think the foam batteries can tolerate more than 50% discharge--but please research that.

I do know that they can withstand 30 partial recharges--and then be recovered totally by a 100% charge with equalization. I don't know the exact low temperature--but it is better than LI.

When you series connect you add voltage not capacity. Three of the 4V batteries, series connected would result in 450AH at 12V.

Your 'magnifying glass' would be to click the link, or use ctrl +

Seems to indicate that Firefly batteries offer a fantastic cycle lifetime for light discharge applications.

Can you translate that for us... Alas I do not have a magnifying glass and have some problems with multi-colored graphs.
