Does anyone with a 2 slot device (mower or snow blower) that uses them in parallel - do they have any circuitry when they parallel them? Or are they directly paralleled?? (( do any mowers take parallel batteries?? ))
Alan B said:The link above is a review of the leaf blower, not the snow blower. The language is pretty raw. It only uses a single battery, so it doesn't address the parallel battery issue. I don't believe it is over 1000W, but it drains a battery pretty fast if you use the turbo feature much.
Actually, having bought scores of pieces of lawn maintenance stuff i’m not at all put off by any price other than th3 snowblower. Thanks for the continued work. This is really looking good.Alan B said:Let's not get into pricing (especially of the tools), we're just looking at how to re-utilize the batteries in a safe and effective way. A large part of costs are the batteries, the tools with no batteries are usually not bad.
If we don't find anything better soon, I'll get some of that nickel-silver for contacts. I see some brands use brass instead of copper, so have even higher resistivity. I'm also concerned that this jewelry type material may be too soft.
Punx0r said:Not paralleling packs of different SOC is very sensible, but as a consumer product with parallel packs it is foreseeable and inevitable that it will happen and I'd be very surprised if it wasn't taken into account during the design. There must be some kind of prevention or mitigation system in the tool, or it was tested and found not to be harmful/dangerous.
65% copper, 18% nickel and 17% zinc
Used in applications ranging from...to aircraft relays where arcing is of concern.
