Interesting additional battery chemistry info..... https://batterybro.com/blogs/18650-w...ally-explained And here is a lot more detailed info: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/a...of_lithium_ion While the safety of IMR and INR are good, they are not as good as LFP. Tom |

Yes, they are very reliable and stable. They have very long life cycle. But the energy density is lower. For the same capacity you have to think in more than 60% of weight increase.

I'd be very happy to have something soon that could sustain 30 minutes of flight at best glide speed. Maybe I'd upgrade to self-launch later when higher energy density batteries become available, but maybe not. The 'best' is the enemy of the 'good enough'. Having learned my lesson with Betamax, I'm looking for the VHS of electric propulsion. My glider is 20 years old. There is a limit to how much I want to sink into it. |

"I'm looking for the VHS of electric propulsion."
And we wonder why we're decades behind the Europeans... |

Having learned my lesson with Betamax, I'm looking for the VHS of electric propulsion. My glider is 20 years old. There is a limit to how much I want to sink into it. For our design, having only 30 minutes of sustained flight or selflaunch and having 1 hour of sustained flight is the same technological challenge. The only thing that changes is the final price. 20 years old is like new, we are about to install it on a 35 years old Pegasus. |

Yeh, waiting for an inferior quality system that is more popular is a very US approach.

We are trying to standardize some components but the battery size and shape can be changed without much issues. |

In terms of cell degradation the Samsung 25r has been a reliable source of power. System provided to me by MGM Compro uses Sony US18650VTC6. Rated capacity 3000mAh. 18 stacks of 28. 57 lb with enclosure and BMS. Projected performance at 25KW draw is 12 minutes. FWIW UH |
