Hi Lauren,

To keep the traffic down on this thread lets start an off line conversation to get you all the info and file and answer questions. Unfortunately I'm not able to reply directly to you. Do you have the same limitation? If so then please include your email on your next post.

Yes I am interested in the battery temp/voltage unit. (info on the other two might also be helpful

Thanks,

Bill,

It is

Well that's interesting. It seem to remove all reference to email addresses. So lets try this a different way.

rezac6205

is the first part of the email then the at and comcast.net

Thanks,

I get RAS via emails, and they always include the poster's email address in the header, and
your email address is in the body in your reply. Now I'm curious: do you see your full email

Panasonic LiFe Batteries are now available with Bluetooth reporting of their status (volts,
current, state of charge, temperature) to a smartphone. I think a small, dedicated, panel
mounted display (BID - "battery information display") would be much more useful in-flight.

For batteries that don't have a built-in Bluetooth, you could develop a "BMS" (battery
measurement system) that mounts on each battery, and reports to the BID.

Eric,

The BID for the Panasonic LiFe batteries is a great idea for my next project.

Thanks,
