How a Solar Light Works
A solar light is a light that has the ability to convert sunlight from the afternoon hours into electrical energy that eventually powers the light whenever it is required. It looks no different from a regular light but there are very many subtle differences in the background. A solar panel collects the sun’s radiation and then transforms it into electrical energy. The converted electrical ...

Swollen LiFePO4 Batteries? How To Prevent?
Swollen LiFePO4 batteries are the result of too much current inside a cell of the battery, which causes a build-up of heat and gas. This can be caused by overcharging, deep discharge, overheating to battery or manufacturer defects, or environmental reasons. In this article, we discuss why that happens and how you can prevent that. LiFePO4 battery swelling is one of the important physical ...
