Title: Everything you need to know about Lithium Batteries
Abstract: Batteries are a necessity for almost all portable radio operations. With the advent of modern battery chemistries, the choices available to the radio amateur are plentiful. This presentation will focus on the three common battery types: Lead-Acid (SLA/AGM), Lithium (Lion/Lipo), and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP/LiFePO4). We’ll discuss the pros and cons of each chemistry, common uses and misuses, and everyday application tips for your latest amateur radio project.
