Safely using LiPo Batteries

Safely using LiPo Batteries

LiPo batteries are incredible powerhouses, they have a higher power-to-weight ratio than any other type of battery.

But with all that power comes a number of safety concerns, and not following them could lead to a deadly LiPo fire.

Today we will learn how LiPo batteries work, how to charge, discharge, balance, store and dispose of them. And, just in case, we’ll see how to extinguish a LiPo fire.

e-Paper displays have a number of unique features, such as being visible in broad daylight, consuming very little current, and retaining their image when powered down. But they also have some disadvantages – they have poor refresh rates, limited color capability, and are more expensive than other display types.

in some applications, however, e-Paper is a perfect choice, and today we will see how to use these displays with both an Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
