Ian, unfortunate the results are not good for PHET cells,
what are the costs you've been quoted? Perhaps with a suitable
capacitor bank, the low discharge rate can be OK, if their cost can
justify the additional cost of the capacitors.

Still looks to me that the IB NiMH cells are the best cost-effective
choice for 10C discharge batteries for EVs.

I was afraid of that. there probably is a reason why their spec sheets
doesn't say the high discharge rates they claim behind the scene. bastards
Marcin will probably arrive at the same conclusion despite his initial
enthusiasm.

Yet another hope squashed

Good work though

Dan,

for me PHET are running just fine. I've replaced 50Ah Kokam's cells with 42
parallel blocks of 16850 1.2Ah and all I see is performance BOOST.

At least I've some EVs running and MANY Battery Packs operating with different
cells manufacturers. I event tested TS LFP cells recently and slowly
beginning to believe in their performance.

And what do you have?

Enjoy your miserable troll-life.

If anyone will be passing through Warsaw/Poland I invite him to visit and see
for himself our cars.

Marcin

so your data will be different from Ian Hooper's?
yours will show they work fine at 10C?

you said you have been testing. can we see the data?

just talked to Ian
a A123 cell test is coming up for comparison to the phet cells to ensure
we are not unfairly dismissing the phets
