So, I set about building an open-source ice tracker from DIY components that not only proved to be much, much cheaper but also much more capable than the commercial options. This consumed around 350 milliamperes while running at 5 volts for about 1.7 watts, but the Apollo3 uses just 500 microamperes at 3.3 microwatts.

That is why we can enjoy cool air during the summer in a traffic jam when the engine is not running while the typical cars with stop-start technology can’t, because they have the conventional climate compressor that is only running if the engine is on. 11 volts, we can look for a new battery. How reliable is it after 16 years?

nominal and like other lithium technology stay right around this nominal voltage until the end of the charging cycle when they climb in voltage very quickly. volts that would otherwise be going into the cell. I named them Volt Blocher. There will soon be two others using the Volt Blocher units. LiFePo 4 cells are 3.2v
