I found the new M12 High Output battery at the local HD. Let's take one apart and see how it compares to other M12 batteries.
For reference, I used an M12 soldering iron.
Details:
CP2.0: 26Wh tested, 24Wh rated. LGDAHD41865 cells
CP3.0: 35Wh tested, 36Wh rated. LGABHG21865 cells
XC3.0: 41Wh tested, 36Wh rated. Samsung 15M cells
2.5HO: 34Wh tested, 30Wh rated. Samsung 25S cells
XC6.0: 77Wh tested, 72Wh rated. Samsung 30Q cells

Anker PowerCore Fusion PD Charger/Battery review (5Ah)

Power estimation of the new Apple M1 Pro and Max SoC - extrapolation from the M1
มุมมอง 3053 ปีที่แล้ว

    So do your phones and your microphone emit microwaves? And if they don't, and what they emit is the result of any electric device emitting something, wouldn't the energy you measure the result of the fact that a microwave is an electric device itself? Did you perform the same measure with your electric stove, or your electric kettle? What has this to do with microwaves? You don't even tell us what frequency are you measuring!

    honestly i think it's probably fine, definitely pushing the limits, think if you put one of those small batteries on a grinder it would last probably 2 minutes or so, it would be hot, you just discharged all that energy in that time, if it can charge in in what seemed to be around 15 minutes by what you said, thats power going out at approximately 6 times the rate, if you look at a lot of lithium batteries for vehicles and boats they might have a 100amp discharge and 50 amp charge rating, thats 2x discharge rate, i know its not the same thing but id say it probably is fine, and most likely a lot of specs are just precautions and probably overexagerated from manufacturers, some days here are 36c so the battery would likely be too, especially if its in the sun, then you use it and heats it up itll be 40-45c probably, i'm sure it is ok, maybe the battery will only last 5 years instead of 6 or something, its awesome to see you test all this stuff though because how else would we know. love the channel its just my 2cents don't stop doing this stuff because its very interesting.

      I appreciate the words of encouragement. I have an XMAXX and I actually put a clamp meter on that thing and measured a peak draw of 2kW. Comparing took batteries to a 6S or 8S pack might be pretty fun! Great idea. The issue though is that we’re comparing LiPo packs to these guys that can’t handle that level of power. Let me do some homework and that sounds like a fun topic to discover. Thanks again!

    When I run my 12 AH battery on my vacuum, the slow blink happens when I can hear the vacuum starting to bog down, and it’s usually my warning that I’ll need to swap batteries soon. Once it starts blinking rapidly, it’s dead and needs to be charged.

  • @jcon6734
    @jcon6734 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For context, a typical incandescent night light bulb is around 4 watts, and most (well over 90%) of that energy is converted to heat. So, if you were to build a box with 4 square meters of surface area around a night light, the amount of heat put it off would be similar to the amount of microwave energy coming out of that oven.

    I had a Hitachi microwave, and when the Ukraine invasion started, I was afraid of a possible nuclear accident. With my GMC320 (Geiger counter), radioactivity began to rise, and I discovered that it was coming from my microwave! I recorded 70 cpm inside the microwave.(unpluged) The natural radioactivity in my region ranges between 15 and 25 cpm. How is this possible ?

      I think it’s pretty similarly designed. I do have one and I think the 5.0 is a fantastic battery. I have been busy moving and with other life events unfortunately but my view of the 5.0 is favorable. It seems to have just as much power as the 6.0 in my preliminary testing, and when loaded heavily, I expect it to beat the 6.0. This is a guess, but I will have to test it. I think maybe cutting some hardwood with a circular saw might be the best bet? I have the saw, just need to get around to testing.

      Microwave radiation is not ionizing radiation, there are no ionizing particles. The moment you cut power, the microwave radiation stops. It doesn't leave behind any particles.

    • @BatteryTestChannel

      As Brendon said, it is simply energy so the food is just fine. It will be overheated in some parts, and cold in some parts, so foods sensitive to high heat will not be in great shape, but it isn’t dangerous.

    • @mikemorgan5015
      @mikemorgan5015 ปีที่แล้ว

      Some truth there but not completely. I have both platforms M12 and M18. I find myself reaching for the M12 tools first unless I need big power, which isn't often. M12 allows me to carry more than twice as many tools in a box or bag because of that fat ass slide pack flange on the M18 tools. And pulling them out of a bag is aggravating because the battery flanges always interlock with other tools. I carry a bag of M12 batteries and a bag of tools in my truck at all times. Having the higher output of the XC packs made/makes a huge difference. The foot print of an M12 XC pack isn't even CLOSE to an m18 pack. But again, it's not so much the pack itself, when you take the battery off an M12 tool, it's tiny again and ready to pack. M18? Not so much. Don't get me wrong, I love the M18 tools. But I use the M12 stuff probably close to 90% of the time.
