According to post 24 it is being charged to 3.3 volts and the charging is limited with a 2.2k resistor in series with a diode, looks like changing
the charging rate is pretty easy.
The spec sheet for the battery says it has “continued stable capacity characteristics even after the battery is overdischarged down to 0.0V. ”
So maybe its possible to drain the battery to keep it from shorting out and destroying itself while its being installed.
If your going for the lighted indicator fet switch then rev.B has a lot lower quiescent current. I think loneoceans also added a second fet pad in the middle of the spring in rev.B. Are you building fet switch with the indicator or just the fet switch?
If shiczobovine’s design uses the same components, I would just order both, 3 of each and wait to see which one works better. Then order more of the design you like. Seems like people are having problems getting the battery installed and your going for the super capacitor. Seems experimental.
You can use either one. He describes it back in his first post under the 16mm oshpark link. It’s also in the descripition at oshpark.
If you are using the LFPAK33 that is.
Let us know how it goes Blue. I’m going to wait and see how your’s goes before I order any. I like the super capacitor idea.
I’m pretty sure you already know about Arrow’s free shipping. I order everything I can from them. Thought I mention it anyway.
