Subject: | Re: lithium facts |
So lets take a non-starting, constant load of
say--15A and compare a lead acid battery of a
given size and a LIFEPo4 battery (Or batteries) of EQUAL weight.
Okay, consider the PC680 which claims to offer 45 minutes
endurance when loaded to 15.6 amps for an energy delivery
value of 130 Watt-hours.
Emacs!
Okay, let's do a back-of-the-envelope . . .
(actually, restaurant napkins are my favorite these days -
don't carry much mail around with me. Best yet, I've
discovered a ball-point pen that writes on grade Z
napkins without tearing them. I hand them out to my
cohorts in brainstorming at lunch!)
. . . back of the napkin sanity check on a DIY replacement
for a PC-680:
Referring to the specs for an A123, 25560 cell,
* lifepo4 CHEMISTRY
* Nominal voltage: 3.3V
* Nominal capacity: 2.3Ah
* Core cell weight: 70 grams
* 65mm tall, 26mm diameter (same diameter as a C battery)
* Internal impedance: (1kHz AC) 8 m typical
* Typical fast charge current: 10A to 3.6V CCCV
* 70A continuous discharge
* 120A, 10 sec pulse discharge
* Cycle life at 10C discharge, 100% DOD: over 1,000 cycles
. . . they will allow very high discharge currents with a
relatively flat discharge curve so we can calculate each cell to contain
about 7.5 watt-hours of energy.
To approximate the energy content of the PC680, we would need
130/7.5 or 17 cells. We are obliged to configure these cells in
series strings of four so a 4 x 4 array of 16 cells gets
us 120 watt-hours. Okay, right in the ballpark. Further,
the 70A continuous discharge rating says the 4 parallel
strings would grunt a 280A cranking current without
breathing hard. Higher momentary loads are obviously
not out of the question.
Okay, the 4 x 4 x 26650 array would weigh in at about
1200gm plus another 400 for a case, which gives
us 1600gm (3.5 pounds with no battery management
system).
Okay, I just put the EarthX ETX36 . . .
Model: ETX36D
Nominal Operational Voltage . . 13.3 V
Ah (Lead-acid equivalent) . . . 36
Ah (actual) . . . . . . . . . . 12 (.5C rate) . . .
Reserve Capacity . . . . . . . 27 min.
Pulse Crank Amps (PCA) . . . . 680A (3 sec @ 25 =B0C, voltage >9V)
Cold Crank Amps (CCA) . . . . . 405A (modified SAE, 3 sec@ 0=B0F,
voltage >7.2V)
Continuous Discharge Amps . . . 100A
Standard Charge Voltage . . . . 13.9 - 14.6 V
Maximum Charge Voltage . . . . 15 V
Recommended Charge Amps . . . . 1 - 15A
Max Charge Amps . . . . . . . . 60A (from vehicle charging system)
Life (Charge cycles, 80% deep of discharge)
4000 cycles @ 1C discharge rate, 25=B0C
2000 cycles @10C discharge rate, 25=B0C
Life (Years) . . . . . . . . . 8 Years
Weight . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.9 lb. (1.8Kg)
Dimensions ETX36D . . . . . . . 6.9 x 3.4 x 6.1 inches
Environmental Ratings
Resistance to water intrusion . IP 66 (Hi Pressure wash)
Operating Temperature . . . . 30 =B0C to +60 =B0C
Storage Temperature . . . . . .-40 =B0C to +70 =B0C
. . . on a 15A discharge with a data acquisition
system attached . . . let's see what we get.
Emacs!
This product has a built-in BMS that disconnects the output if the
terminal
voltage drops below a safe value for the battery . . . in this case, 10.6
volts. There was a 10x multiplier in the load current so the readings
across
the bottom should be multiplied by 10. This particular test cycle
terminated
at 142 watt-hours . . . right in the same ball-park as PC-680 published
data and our back-of-the-napkin DIY analysis
for a 4 x 4 array of 26650 cells.
=
So from the perspective of evaluating available energy,
it appears that the ETX-36 series batteries are a drop-in
replacement for the PC-680. Both batteries demonstrate
performance in the 12AH class with a 15A load.
You get a weight differential of 14.8 - 3.9 = 10.9
pounds and a price differential of 350 - 110 = $240.
In the TC aircraft world, most manufacturer's would
be delighted to pay $24/lb for empty weight
reduction. In the OBAM aircraft world, that 10
pounds is not so 'valuable' . . . how many flights
have you re-configured because you were 10# "over
gross". Now, if the lithium battery could demonstrate
a service life of say 3x that of the SVLA, then
cost per operating hour is a wash and the weight
savings are 'free'.

Greetings Rick, and all,=0A=0AMy builder is familiar with the
concepts and suggestions in your post, and I too am to laz
y to do the math.=0A=0AIn terms of the voltage drop during
discharge being different for the different types of batteries,
my owner is also quite famaliar with that,also. My understandi
ng of electronics (gleaned through reading stuff--very difficult
without my landing light lenses attached, is that it takes a
combination of voltage and amperage to do a job. I'm stil
l trying to figure out watts that all about.=0A=0AI do know
that at a certain time in the deminishment of the stored p
ower in a battery, no matter what the chemistry, that my g
izmos willl stop gizzing and give my owner either a big "X

art will beat incorrectly, if at all, and I may squirt var
ious liquids inappropriately and at incorrect times. I do not
know the level at which that would occur.=0A=0AI remember in
a sibling that my builder also built, he had a Navaid Devi
ces 1 axis autopilot (company now out of business). This dev
ice was actually quite good, however at about 11V the device
would show a turn and attempt to correct that with ailero
n input. fortunately I discovered this on the ground in init
ial testing and after extensive testing (and wasted time) dete
rmined that to be the problem. In the air, with alternators
alternating, no problem, however if they went into an alternat
ed state, I would probably still be up there flying in inc
reasingly tighter circles.=0A=0AI believe his new plane will ope
rate properly until much lower voltage (assuming enough amps).=0A
=0AIf we define a specific voltage and wattage (of course I
don't know what I am tak\lking about since I am just an
airplane) and test each sample to this, we can get some so
rt of data that would indicate a more meaningful comparison
between the two chemistries.=0A=0AThe reason I specified battery
packs of the same weight in my previous post was to equal
the field from which the appropriate weight of LiFePo4 batteri
es could be "equivalent" for my electrical needs.=0A=0AThe flat
discharge voltage curve of LI-type is an enticing factor, but
only if enough amps are delivered at that voltage. again as
an aircraft I may not know watt I am talking about.=0A=0A=0A
=0ABravo for going electric with your truck. My lungs and pe
rhaps great-grandchildren thank you. the conversion to LI batter
ies certainly had advantages, specifically with respect to the
weight.=0A=0AYour battery utilization, for the truck, however is
quite different than aircraft usage as you, as you know, sta
rt out with a relatively fully charged battery group (at lea
st at the start of the day) and in effect deep cycle the

attery, after recovering from the start, is at relatively full

how much Juce is available if the alternator quits. This is

Hi,
I, for one, am most certainly not getting bored with this thread. It
just takes some time to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I see I blew the original premise . . . EQUAL weight.
Okay, stack 4 ETX-36 batteries in for approximately
the same weight as a PC-680. At 4x the stored energy
of the PC-680 at the 15A load rate you can fly
for 3+ hours while supporting the 180W load.

NOT BORING. Please continue, Lithium may be the future for our battery

level at which that would occur.
I remember in a sibling that my builder also built, he had a Navaid Devices
1 axis autopilot (company now out of business). This device was actually
quite good, however at about 11V the device would show a turn and attempt to
correct that with aileron input. fortunately I discovered this on the ground
in initial testing and after extensive testing (and wasted time) determined
that to be the problem. In the air, with alternators alternating, no
problem, however if they went into an alternated state, I would probably
still be up there flying in increasingly tighter circles.
I believe his new plane will operate properly until much lower voltage
(assuming enough amps).
If we define a specific voltage and wattage (of course I don't know what I
am tak\lking about since I am just an airplane) and test each sample to
this, we can get some sort of data that would indicate a more meaningful
comparison between the two chemistries.
The reason I specified battery packs of the same weight in my previous post
was to equal the field from which the appropriate weight of LiFePo4
batteries could be "equivalent" for my electrical needs.
The flat discharge voltage curve of LI-type is an enticing factor, but only
if enough amps are delivered at that voltage. again as an aircraft I may not
know watt I am talking about.
Bravo for going electric with your truck. My lungs and perhaps
great-grandchildren thank you. the conversion to LI batteries certainly had
advantages, specifically with respect to the weight.
Your battery utilization, for the truck, however is quite different than
aircraft usage as you, as you know, start out with a relatively fully
charged battery group (at least at the start of the day) and in effect deep
cycle the pack routinely.
In aircraft, because in most cases the battery, after recovering from the
start, is at relatively full charge, it never deep cycles, and the important
thing is how much Juce is available if the alternator quits. This is a one
time semi emergency problem, not a routine thing.
If I am flying along and loose my alternator (considering dual alternators
now which would really change my battery specs to primarily starting) I
would like to know if my EFI, Elecronic ignition, electric fuel pumps (no
engine driven pump) and a com and possibly a nav radio, all could function
for a while (and how long that while might be).
thanks for your reply

Equal weight? No contest although I'm too lazy to do the math right now.
Here's an anecdotal answer though. I have a Ford Ranger that was
converted to electric. 144 volts with 24 215Ah lead-acid batteries. They
weighed 1600 pounds and would drive the truck about 40 miles.
I replaced them with 38 100ah lithium cells. Still 144 volts but only
weighing 347 pounds. The truck will go about 50 miles and it does it in
a much more spritely manner.
There are some interesting considerations for your test. One is that
voltage of lead-acid batteries decreases linearly with state of charge
(SOC). From roughly 12.65 volts fully charged to 11.89 volts completely
empty. At what point in that slope, though, will your electronics start
to behave erratically? I don't know. In general, for long life, you
don't want to discharge more than 50% or down to 12.24 volts.
LiFePo4 cells have a very flat discharge curve. 4 cells tied together
will be at roughly 13.2 volts full and will drop to 12.6 before suddenly
dropping to 0 as the battery reaches empty. You'd like to avoid that
drop but as far as your plane is concerned the battery will look full
for the entire discharge time which could use up almost all the capacity

So, bob. Now we are getting somewhere
If equal weight gives li batts 4 x the stored energy it follows that you can
use 1 li batt for equivalency-- or 2 for redundancy.
Canard type aircraft may have more critical w&b battery location situations a
nd a batt at 1/4 the weight may be helpful
So if you eliminate the possible cost disadvantage and the seemingly now deb
unked safety issues what other reasons are there for lithium rejection

Now, if there was a drop in Li replacement for a 925 that weighted 1/3
the weight I would be all over it. Because of poor decisions I made
during construction I am tail heavy and I am always looking for ways to
remove weight in the tail. I think my ELT is moving forward on my next
condition inspection for that reason.

I see I blew the original premise . . . EQUAL weight.
Okay, stack 4 ETX-36 batteries in for approximately
the same weight as a PC-680. At 4x the stored energy
of the PC-680 at the 15A load rate you can fly
for 3+ hours while supporting the 180W load.

Subject: | Re: lithium facts |
Suggest updating the weight calculations to include a steel battery box to contain
a lipo fire.

Now, if there was a drop in Li replacement for a 925 that weighted 1/3 the weight
I would be all over it. Because of poor decisions I made during construction
I am tail heavy and I am always looking for ways to remove weight in the tail.
I think my ELT is moving forward on my next condition inspection for that
reason.

So, bob. Now we are getting somewhere
If equal weight gives li batts 4 x the stored energy it follows that you can use
1 li batt for equivalency-- or 2 for redundancy.
Canard type aircraft may have more critical w&b battery location situations and
a batt at 1/4 the weight may be helpful
So if you eliminate the possible cost disadvantage and the seemingly now debunked
safety issues what other reasons are there for lithium rejection
