vagrantc | apparently the issue came down to "if force doesn't work, you're not using enough of it" | 00:02 |
vagrantc | :/ | 00:04 |
josch | did it work in the end? | 00:05 |
vagrantc | don't know yet ... but the connection seems reasonable-ish | 00:15 |
vagrantc | i was hoping this bad cell would at least start to charge, but it is not. | 00:16 |
vagrantc | i have a few other 18650 lifepo4 cells ... but not sure what AH rating they are ... | 00:16 |
vagrantc | i'll just force a 26650 cell in and see what happens :) | 00:18 |
vagrantc | or rather, not. | 00:18 |
josch | speaking of cells... can somebody recommend a solution that lets me test the capacity of my lifepo4 cells so that i can choose cells which offer most similar remaining capacity depending on their age? | 00:18 |

digitalrayne | there's ways to "jump start" them and maybe revive them if you're interested in potentially starting a fire and have a high appetite for adventure (and potentially destruction) | 00:19 |

digitalrayne | successful adventure! | 00:21 |
vagrantc | digitalrayne: supposedly this charge can detect this ... but it is not | 00:21 |
digitalrayne | did you manually check the voltage on the cell already? | 00:22 |
digitalrayne | couldn't see in backscroll | 00:22 |
vagrantc | back when it was in the pack, it was reading 0.67v ... but last i checked it was just plain 0v | 00:22 |
digitalrayne | ah ok the once I've done are < 1v and i just charge them as NiMH for a few minutes, but I don't think I've tried that for completely 0v cells before | 00:23 |
digitalrayne | *the ones | 00:23 |
digitalrayne | not official advice, do not do this, usual disclaimers | 00:24 |
digitalrayne | i also have only ever attempted this with a fire extinguisher nearby, outside in my workshop | 00:25 |
vagrantc | i have some used 1.5AH cells around here somewhere ... but the ones that came with it are 1.8AH | 00:25 |
vagrantc | of course, once it hits 0v ... it is never going to see 1.8AH again :/ | 00:26 |

vagrantc | does it make more sense to use 7 of the 1.8ah cells that came with the mnt/reform and 1 1.5ah cell ... or 6 1.5ah cells with two 1.8ah cell? | 00:37 |
vagrantc | oh, i actually couild scrounge up more of the 1.5ah cells ... and use the remaining 1.8ah cells in those | 00:38 |
