Lithium-ion battery fires generate intense heat and considerable amounts of gas and smoke. Although the emission of toxic gases can be a larger threat than the heat, the knowledge of such emissions is limited. Do Lithium-ion batteries produce gas? Lithium-ion … Continue reading →

Short interest can be a useful short-term indicator. An increase in short interest may indicate that the stock is in a precarious technical position and could fall or correct; a decrease in short interest indicates that shorts are losing interest … Continue reading →

How do I get the most out of my LiPo battery? Aim to draw less then 60% of the maximum continuous rated current of your LiPo’s. If you draw less then 60%, your cells will last even longer. Avoid discharging … Continue reading →

Heat will cause damage to the battery. The easiest way to do that is to solder as quickly as possible. Crank up the iron a bit( I’m using 380C). Get fat tip for the iron. Can you solder a LiPo … Continue reading →

This is typically a symptom of battery age, damage from over/under charging, or sulfation. You can sometimes improve a battery in this condition by using a desulfation device, otherwise you’ll have to live with the low capacity or replace the … Continue reading →

TIN FOIL IN SHOES Tin foil doesn’t retain heat but it does a great job of keeping heat in and the cold out. For extra warmth try wrapping your whole foot in tin foil. What happens when you wrap your … Continue reading →

Abundances of the chemical elements in the Solar System. Hydrogen and helium are most common, residuals within the paradigm of the Big Bang. Li, Be and B are rare because they are poorly synthesized in the Big Bang and also … Continue reading →

Despite the fact that lithium demand is expected to explode over the coming years with demand for electric vehicles projected to skyrocket, the metal’s prices in 2019 have been falling due to an oversupply problem caused by an avalanche of … Continue reading →

Slag is the silicon dioxide and metal oxide mixture left over as a by-product of extracting metal from its ore during the smelting process. Once the metal is smelted out of its ore, the ore appears to be glassy. This … Continue reading →

PK Analysis: An Essential Step in the Drug Development Process. Pharmacokinetics (PK) describes what the human body does to a given pharmaceutical, from the time of administration to absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion from the body. What is PK analysis … Continue reading →

Yes a Tesla vehicle can go thru 1 foot of water with no problem. They have a sealed bottom and do very good in water. Quite a few have been bought after flood damage and very little work or parts … Continue reading →

If while parked, it’s normal. The battery cooling system makes a humming sound. The system turns on and off as needed. Nothing to be concerned about. Why is my Tesla making noise when it’s off? Member. If you got your … Continue reading →

The reason the 9-volt battery can be dangerous is that the positive and negative posts are close together. If a metal object touches the two posts of the battery, it can cause a short circuit making enough heat to start … Continue reading →
