My IoT Product Journey
In this episode of DailyIoT I give a brief update on the scooter project. Specifically, how I swapped out the two 12V sealed lead acid batteries for a single 24V Lithium Iron Phosphate version. It weighs about half as much as just one of the SLAs it's replacing. After some research I wanted to give LiFePO4 batteries a try over just replacing the dead SLAs for the following reasons:
- Significantly more charge cycles
- Much faster charging
- Non-toxic
- No memory. They don't need to be fully discharged before charging.
- Considerably lighter
I'll post updates here as I gain more first hand experience using the battery in the scooter project.
The specific battery pack I'm using is from Bioenno Power (Amazon affiliate link).
