Battery Ponderings
Hey all..
I work at an aircraft company, and recently we have done some R&D into using Li-Ion for ships battery, and it has had some really nice results.
I am not an engineer myself, so I do not know any of the specifics of this sort of design, but has anyone heard of using this type of cell to replace the heavy lead acid ones?
The hardest part to come up with might be a charging system. The battery would be pretty expensive initially, and might even have to be built up.. but the weight savings and inherent high energy would be a nice benefit.
