Of course, there is a maximum charge-current for any battery which you really don't want to exceed, so the charging has to be configured for the specific battery. | |

What is the difference between those two methods? | |

| Nov 2, 2021 at 13:13 | comment | added | Tomek Tarczynski | Thanks for the reply. I used to say that safety was the number 1 priority, but now that I think about it, that wasn't true. I was actually more along the lines of "I want to build a very safe battery pack myself (educational goal) at a reasonable price". I can build many other things myself that won't blow up in my face, so I can buy an already manufactured battery pack. As for chemistry: I'm not attached to Li-ion at all, if there are any safer ones I'm happy to use them. | |
