jfredThe side panels definitely have a protective film on them in the DIY kit, right? The stuff is so hard to get off of acrylic and so transparent that I'm never sure...03:20
chartreuseMine didn't seem to, I tried to remove something but there didn't seem to be anything on there 03:40
chartreuseCouldn't see any evidence there was something that I kept trying to remove03:40
ianklol, jfred, ya, i assembled mine today and puzzled over that. i decided there was no film. then i saw a video of someone removing film from them which made it pretty clear there was none on mine04:34
chartreuseGlad to hear it wasn't just me going crazy trying to remove something that's not there and giving up04:42
chartreuseMine was from last month's batch so it's been at least a few of them like that04:43
jfredYeah I eventually came to the conclusion that there wasn't any on mine despite the assembly instructions 04:43
jfredI've worked with laser cut acrylic before though and if you don't know what it should look like the film can be non-obvious04:43
jfred(Depending on the color)04:44
chartreuseAt least clear peices normally have coloured film on them05:18
chartreuseI was surprised the base didn't have film on it05:18

Lewis[m]mntmn: do you have a good source to learn more about the LiFePO4 battery chemistry and it's compatibility with other electronics? I'm assuming that much like one shouldn't use non LiFePO4 batteries in the Reform, other 18650 battery holders that aren't designed for LiFePO4 can't handle them?12:06

mntmnLewis[m]: battery holders?!14:27
Lewis[m]mntmn: sorry, I was looking at a raspberry pi UPS hat, and I don't know whether I could use LiFePO4 batteries https://www.amazon.co.uk/Raspberry-Uninterruptible-Battery-Management-Expansion-As-Shown/dp/B082KJJMP2/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=raspberry+pi+ups&qid=1630573234&sr=8-815:22
mntmnLewis[m]: that doesn't have to do with the mechanical holder though, but with the circuit or charger15:23
mntmn18650 li-ion and lifepo4 have identical size but different voltage and charging profile15:23
mntmnliion are much more dangerous and need to be temperature controlled during charging15:24
mntmnbut liion have better energy density. this wears off after about one year though when they lose capacity15:24
mntmnlifepo4 has a longer stable capacity, but it starts lower15:24
mntmnliion uses cobalt but lifepo4 does not, it uses iron phosphate15:25
Lewis[m]okay, that makes sense. I was wondering whether it was the case that circuits that supported li-ion might support lifepo4, but circuits that support lifepo4 might not support li-ion, due to some power reasons that I don't understand15:31
mntmnLewis[m]: lifepo4 runs at nominal 3.3-3.2V and liion 3.7V15:32
