In this VS episode I will compare the gravimetric and volumetric energy density and the price of lead acid, NiMH, Li-Ion and LiPo batteries with one another. I will also talk about how dangerous each battery type can be and what kind of battery you should get for your next project.

4:38 use neodymium magnets to get these clamps on a single cell? excellent idea, why i never thought this way? thanks for the tip.

Same. that is genius.

@jasonbay13 7 лет назад

this is probably the most helpful thing i've never thought of. always have trouble with this, just so happens i have a stack of mini neo's right next to me.

@justtoaskthequestion1422 7 лет назад

I had it in mind for a long time but I was wondering is it actually safe/recommended to run electricity through a permament magnet? I couldn't find anything about anyone even attempting to do so on the internet so I figured there is some issue I am not aware of (and that is probably too obvious to even mention it), hence noneones uses it this way and was the reason why I couldn't find anything. Could someone shed some light?

@userPrehistoricman 7 лет назад

I think the magnets have a moderate 0.5-2 ohm resistance which makes them okay for charging small batteries

@tomaszatko9562 Год назад

Making use of the ru-vid.comUgkxcJ22tnHH9l1vjdIdEIG27iOG55P7LXI8 reconditioning plan, I just saved 2 auto batteries from being completely junked. The guides were very simple to follow. I wish I would have found this years ago! You may use the guide to recondition any battery type

@Hemewl 7 лет назад

You might also want to consider operational temperature for charging and discharging. For instance, in an outdoor installation in cold weather a NiMH will probably win at all times.

@mongfin01 7 лет назад

fantastic video bro! it got pretty information-heavy in the middle, but your summary at the end was perfect for understanding. keep up the good work!

@IncroyablesExperiences 7 лет назад

If the test would have been conducted with a 1C discharge rate, the LiPo would have been the incontestable winner because of it's low internal resistance. What more, after years, the internal resistance of lithium batterie do not increase as much as other technologies. For those two reasons, after a while, the winner in each categories (even the price) is the LiPo for a high power device as an eBike :) Nice video, usefull informations !

While I was watching, my wife noticed that you are left-handed just like me. But with a pretty hand-writing tho.

@georgegibson707 7 лет назад

Battery life (charge cycles), Rate of self discharge, Charge efficiency (energy in vs out)can be factors in the choice too.

@krzysiekzdrojewski6865 4 года назад

Yeah, maybe

@antkoos 4 года назад

how can you measure the charge efficiency?

@Trakkson 4 года назад

@@antkoos Congrats bro, you just dug out 3yo comment. Anyway, you can just measure energy "pumped" into the cell when charging, then measure te energy sucked out of it and compare the two.

@levelup1279 3 года назад

They all work forever, just repair it if it breaks then you have infinite charges

@1224chrisng 2 года назад

In terms of charge cycles, Lead Acid is weird in that there are 2 types of batteries with different ratings. "Deep Cycle" batteries are made from solid pieces of lead and can be fully charged and discharged many times, whereas "Starting Lighting and Ignition" batteries are made of lead sponge and can degrade rapidly if fully discharged

@choimdachoim9491 4 года назад

@Slava-om1sz 5 лет назад

That was great, but I was hoping to so find out more differences in how these technologies behave. For example discharging while not in use, capactity decrease over time and after X amount of recharge cycles, etc.

@wahidasad4853 2 года назад

Well for that i may not be so right but once i charged my diy lithium ion battery fan and I don't know how i lost it .but after one and a half month i found it and it gave me pretty much the same backup it usually does . Don't know it might have lost a little bit of energy.🤔

@LazerLord10 7 лет назад

Li-Po is great for high-power discharge!

@LazerLord10 7 лет назад

***** yup. Sounds about right. There's also Li-Fe (lithium Iron), which is pretty low power (mine is 2A max).

@CAv-lp2qk 7 лет назад

+kingknut icr, inr, imr all meaningless really, as no standardisation amongst all manufacturers in this regard. High discharge "li-po" in an 18650 package are being called "Ii-ion", and low discharge "li-ion" in a soft pouch is still "li-ion".. Go figure!!

@LazerLord10 7 лет назад

***** Well, they're good for RC transmitters because they're low power, and don't need to be set at a storage voltage. Like all batteries, they're fit for a specific purpose.

@CAv-lp2qk 7 лет назад

Unless their from certain online hobby store... Their cheaper transmitter packs have been known to puff when left charged.. Probably reject cells rebranded, might have a tiny bit of iron in the recipe so marketing calls em "li-fe".. ni-mh Eneloops are great for tx's

@akhurash 7 лет назад

I think one more advantage to using lead acid is that they perform better in colder conditions than the other types. By perform I mean they are not as susceptible to temperature changes as the other types.

@yousurf374 5 лет назад

And NiMH is ot so bad in cold either and can be charged in cold conditions too.

@miguellopez3392 5 лет назад

Lithium ion batteries perform better in the cold most cars that don't start in the winter are stuck there because their lead acid batteries failing.

What Tony Shulthise already said is also in my view of interest! Take the time you need for the video. It would be pretty helpfull for my portable solar devices :D And, nice Video! :)

@T70781 7 лет назад

GreatScott! I didn't mean to imply that you should do it. Sorry if it sounded like a complaint! I was just thinking about all the times I've needed all that info and couldn't find it in one place, even on dedicated battery info sites. This was great information and thanks for all the time you put in to sharing great videos with us. I always look forward to your videos. You really do a great job.

@voltlog 7 лет назад

This was a great introductory video, clear and concise. Having all that extra info and comparing all those extra characteristics would make the video too long. Sure, they are useful but after this introductory video the user can go and research those extra parameters on it's own after it has narrowed down it's battery selection.

@shr1528 7 лет назад

What about overall charge-discharge cycle efficiency? And number of charge discharge cycles ?I know it's included in the specs of most but would be great if you test the same

@dachew57 6 лет назад

Nice comparisons. Would it be helpful to add a 5th point about storage life? For example, lipo's shouldn't be stored for long fully charged, but should instead be brought to 80% capacity. And lead acid has very good shelf life.

@Proofinc 5 месяцев назад

@GetGood5 7 лет назад

@CAv-lp2qk 7 лет назад

Worth mentioning also the big difference between a car battery and the deep cycle battery shown! To complicate even more, you can now get "lithium-ion" aaa, aa, 9v ect. batteries with micro USB ports in them for charging!

@adoniscmj3212 6 лет назад

This is really a good way to look at battery power. I use 18650 type cells due to there energy. Lead acid batteries can be dangerous as well. When charging they give off hydrogen gas, that can explode if there is a spark, plus they contain lots of lead and sulfuric acid, so not really the safest option. The 18650 can be dangerous, but as long as you are careful with them, they can really be useful. They are getting safer everyday and they are getting more out of them as well. I look forward to seeing just how much better they can get.

@chronophagocytosis 6 лет назад

Your use of SI units was pretty good, but I would still have used J instead of Wh. Anyway, keep up the good work!

@lampofthestreet 5 лет назад

Depends who you ask. I think in his field he uses Wh more than J

@chronophagocytosis 6 месяцев назад

Because J is the correct unit of energy, just like m is the correct unit of length. What else is there to say?@@user-kx8vn6tm1d

@dansanger5340 7 лет назад

There's also supercapacitors, which can be useful in some low capacity applications. The digitizer pen for my laptop uses a supercapacitor instead of a chemical battery, and it recharges in 15 seconds.

@claudiufarcas 7 лет назад

What about charging/discharging rate? I think this is also very important when choosing the right battery for the right application.

@JeroenTrappers 7 лет назад

Number of expected cycles, high vs low discharge current requirements, charge time,... may also be things to consider.

@MrMath-xm9fk 5 месяцев назад
