Swell, isn't that the way it is? Murphy never misses and easy bet like that I guess. Dozens of types to pick from, and they drop the hot ticket for our narrow use.
Thanks, Pak. Might be a good time to stash one or two?
That doesn't matter, this is cutting edge stuff, ever changing. There are, I think, two key points to keep in mind. First is we put a very big demand on the battery in terms of flat out power, we demand stuff that's normally part of tradeoffs given for other characteristics. Secondly, we want it to provide this unmatched performance forever between charges.
Oh, yeah, we want it cheap, too.
Some types of batteries must never be fully discharged. These same types also provide the best "energy density" (power per pound if you will). So cell phones and laptops (as well as cameras and so on) use this high energy density type, but use circuits to shut it down if the battery gets weak (sometimes happens with cell phones I'm told?).
The real danger with this kind of battery is if it's part of a pack and it's the weak one (one has to go flat first....), the others can force current through it, basically trying to charge it backwards.....not successfully, but enough to keep the owner wondering why the lights are dim. In our case, having only one battery in use at one time, there is no chance of this really deadly situation. Still, I think, if a guy got err..r.r.rr distracted(?) and kept the power button on (like if he had a latching switch, maybe?) taking it under 2.5 Volts is considered bad for it's lifespan.
Back to the first point. We not only want four or more Amps but we want it delivered without 'voltage sag under load'. That voltage sag represents power lost heating the battery. If it sags 10%, 90% of the power produced is delivered where we want it, 10% is heat in the battery.....exactly where we don't want it. Not only don't we get to make vapor with it (the whole goal originally for most of us) but it is very bad for the battery as well. Double loose.
So, using Longshoreman Logic, we demand more to be sure of getting what we really want. We want/need five, so look to batteries rated for 10 Amps. This makes the shopping much easier, really, there are two batteries on that list. The one that doesn't need protection goes maybe 20 minute or a little more, the other closer to half an hour with the same power levels. One is pretty much bomb proof, the other is likely to loose capacity if you deep discharge it too often. Once deep enough (like to zero?) could well be enough. Adding the protection circuit negates this 10 Amp feature we crave.
Or so it seems right now. At least to me.
Maybe.
Bottom line is either is a great choice (go figure), a cut above the others in the brute power arena and both should give long service with reasonable care on your part. IMO both are worthy choices for Cera.
Maybe.
First off, howdy, good to meet you! Do you have yours yet?
As to the question, I seriously doubt it. First off, it's often part of the NDA (non disclosure agreement) you enter into with vendors, they swear you to absolute secrecy first before they talk fancy stuff like this so they can keep customers from exchanging pricing and beating them up. TV would be bound by those contracts for some period forward. Secondly, for a host of reasons (some of which I'm sure you can spot) that's not good 'business sense', in fact quite the opposite. Investors tend to shy away from companies that tell their competition the 'intellectual property' that gives the company value. To the bean counters, that's exactly what that to us very useful information is. They paid for it, they want you to pay at least as much to get it.
So, while it'd be very nice, I wouldn't hold my breath.
We know plenty to go forward. Package, size and electrical specs. Funny how search engines don't find a ready fix even when the 'made in USA' filter is take off?
