Battleborn batteries

As to the Ryobi powerpacks mentioned earlier. After a discussion here or there about Lithium chemistries, I realized I would need to learn a lot about Lithium and SOC voltage levels.
Then one day I realized that I already have Lithium batteries. with a Nite-Core flashlight and Ryobi power packs. I started checking voltages at various stages. For the Ryobi's Li-Ion (18.8V nominal) fully charged is 20.4-5, not sure exactly, depleted when the drill refuses to operate, is 15.5V. Before doing a big power hungry job, circular saw, reciprocating saw, I check the voltage to make sure the powerpack won't quit in the middle. I was just guessing previously.
The Nite-Core 18650 3400mAh Li-ion is nominal 3.7V. Charged is higher 4+V and when the light gets too dim, it is below 3V.
Lithium appears to have a wider voltage range than a Duracell AAA. The AAAs are dead at 1.2V in my headlamp when the electronic switch fails to function.

Lifepo4 is a different animal than lico or limn cells found in power tool and flashght batteries.

and low n behold,checking out utube and a certain bearded guy was pimpin the jackery,here you can buy it's 100w panel for $350 from his amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q71LX84


got to give it to the jackery and battleborn marketing teams

I understand Battleborn does match cells as they assemble their LifePo4 12V batteries but without a means for me to verify, via Bluetooth BMS or some other way to check "each cells" SOC after install, well, I just don't trust the technology enough to invest.

Victron offers that and I imagine for the battery price uses a pretty decent BMS too. So at least you can tell when you need to cash-in that spare kidney to keep your lights on.

If you don't want to, then here's a visual clue of the difference between a GC battery and a 12v marine battery:

That picture reminds me of: Supermarkets selling boxed items for the same price but now they are 25% less volume, or my mental/physical/amount of hair capacity now at 65 vs at 25...

IIRC the low temp BB lithiums have a small built in heat pad that runs off the battery, of course !
(I watched Will Prowse tear one apart. a while back 
)
this might be the one with the heater info.?

I have a friend in VA. that got 2 of these , no reports yet.

it's a year old so may have updates..


Don't forget the GC2 6volt batteries are taller than the 12 volt. 
Approx group 27 footprint though.

OK , I found it .

It wasn't just Will Prouse , this one got mixed in ....
