Re: Batteries
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýAndy, When that type of performance is needed, it is a custom design project and not for the general public. I do not expect the batteries will be replaced in my lifetime. When the equipment is mounted at a top of a pole and a bucket truck is required for service, and the road lane needs to be closed, the mechanical size/cost is not an significant issue. Regular rechargeable lithiums are also around 3.6V so no surprise. Amazing batteries! Bertho ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Andy via groups.io

Darn!? All these alternate technologies!? With built-in ways to mess us up. ? Those Tadiran cells come in standard AA, C, and D form factors, but do NOT have the standard voltage.? Their nominal voltage in those form factors is 3.6V.? Now that's a million catastrophies just waiting to happen. ? THIS is the kind of thing that should never have happened.? Shame on them. ? Hopefully their very high cost will deter most people from using them in equipment designed to accept AA, C, or D dry cells. ? I also wonder why anyone would design equipment to accept 3.6V cells with AA, C, or D form factors.? Do traffic control equipment designers really do such a thing?? Or do they take the smart route and only use the alternate form factors? ? Andy ? |
