"They laughed at Galileo. They laughed at Newton. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown." -- Carl Sagan

Wouldn't it be simpler to design a circuit that when a set of cells goes below a certain voltage, it just shorts those cells out? You could get energy out of the rest of the pack while those cells were dying. You'd have to replace the dead cells and eventually they would all have the same...

Thank you. I didn't spend the time I would have spent verifying that both equations were the same and that the graph matched the equation as I would have if I was spending my hard earned money. At first glance, I could see where the equations were rearranged at bit. I thought you could use...

Ackerman shouldn't be a problem because both wheels will turn about the same point. The axle will be in line with that point. If you are turning about a 10 foot circle, the axle will point at the center of that circle and both wheels will be perpendicular to the circle. But, there's another...

Howdy ya'll... Been watching this thread to see how things turn out. I found this app note about measuring individual voltages in battery stacks. I thought some might be interested. http://www.linear.com/pc/downloadDocument.do?id=25643

I looked at http://www.torontosurplus.com/tes/DataSpec/Tyco_QHW100F.pdf and I can see why you are not sure. That equation leaves a lot of room for interpretation. Here's another data sheet with a trim-up equation that looks like it's the same as yours. However, they have a graph of...
