    Nearly had a fire with 18650's, rubber-banded together

    Just got saved by the Universe from a lithium battery fire! My rubber banded 18650 lithium batteries were smoldering and getting hot, but the bin fell by accident and when I picked them up I felt the battery pack with a rubber band were warm and they should not be. Look closer, & I saw that one...

    The Tiny Homes on Wheels (THOW) thread

    Government spends $57K on every person in the DTES; $120K on every provincial prisoner annually; $200K+ on every federal prisoner annually. So, why can't we just give them Tiny Homes, or at least allow Tiny Homes in Metro Vancouver? There are Tiny Homes on Wheels on bikes! ..could be better...

    Lithium-manganese or LiFEPO4 for 72V, which is safer?

    Hi, newbie "manganese" question re 18650 Lithium manganese for 72V 200lb 'cycle --- this a good idea? Said to be much cheaper than a Li-Fe pack. The 18650's will be in 18650 "banks" that have HVC and LVC BMS, but not at a cell-level. So, what happens is an individual 18650 fails or shorts...

    Is the Soshine 1800maH the most powerful 18650 LIFEPO4?

    Can't find a protected LIFEPO4 that is more powerful. Why only 1800maH for LIFEPO4 whereas there are 4000maH LiPO 18650's? I see that the EcoReco standup kick electric scooters use LIFEPO4's -- are these protected, or not, when made into scooter packs?

    Shouldn't all e'cycles be made with 18650's? BMS??

    To my knowledge, the ONLY good EV-model is the Tesla. With two wheel, so far, it seems to be the Taiwan-made Gogoro. And, in China, the NIU N1 made by the Baidu boy-genius. These all use 18650's from Panasonic, I believe. But, where is the BMS that operates the 18650's (homebuilt or in...
