NICE translation! (well I am referring to the fact that there IS another translation made I cant read it lol)
This topic cold become a real life saver!
IMNERHO, Google Translate is one of the few Good Things Google provides. Itâs not reliable on its own, though, so I always take the first translation, Copy it to the clipboard & start over translating it back into English (or whatever my first language happens to be). It sometimes takes a lot of work, but the end result is exactly what I first said in English. I do this out of respect for my non-English-speaking friends, but it seems Very Useful here too.
As you can see, theyâre getting a little-bit better:
Yes google translate is a very usefull tool!
my reason for hoping it gets translated in as many languages as possible is however so that native speakers who google for li ion safety in their own languages can find it (and then use google translate for the rest of BLF ;))
Not even with ketchup? It makes everything taste good
Just kidding of course and youâd think it would go without saying until somebody does it and then cries ânobody warned me about that!â I hate whining
Iâd rather have it said, although something in me wants Darwin to fix that little problem instead- anyone whoâd willingly ingest any cell or battery does not deserve to exist.
Iâd suggest deleting that particular item. By stating the obvious, it tends to cheapen the integrity of the lesson as a whole. Not to mention adding one more line to an already long message.
What about LiFePO4? Should we have some info in the OP about that? It is a lot different chemistry, with a different nominal voltage as well as terminal charge voltage requirement. I know we donât talk much about them here at BLF, because theyâre not used in most of the flashlights we buy/build. But, maybe at least just the specifications and a few of the ways they are different from other Li-Ion cell chemistries should be noted somehow in the OP, so that Newbies can avoid confusion.
Perhaps if we specify which chemistry we are talking about in this thread and that there are other chemistries. When we talk about Lithium-Ion batteries what Chemistry are we talking about?
I see:
Chemistry
Nominal
Range
Lithium Cobalt Oxide(LiCoO2)
3.6V
3.0-4.2V
Lithium Manganese Oxide (LiMn2O4)
3.6V
3.0-4.2V
Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt Oxide (LiNiMnCoO2 or NMC)
As usual, mention the âLâ word & the conversation launches right off the rails.
Parents in this country, following the opinions of âDoctorsâ, put Lithium pills into their children, to get the brats to STFU. Maybe those reports were from people who saw a Youtube video & decided they were plenty smart enough to choose what was best for their own children & believed Lithium pills = Lithium batteries.
Yes, SawMaster, Darwin has a Theory about people like that!
Some of us have been around long enough to remember the hype and hysteria over SureFire, etc. and their dangerous expensive (thereâs a nugget of Truth in every lie) camera batteries⊠Anyone actually have experience blowing up their pockets when loose change or car keys touched a CR123? Not experience watching a Youtube video, but actual real-life experience? Hmmm?
But we werenât talking about Lithium batteries, were we?
We were talking about Lithium-ION batteries. Oh, wellâŠ
Iâm on the fence about this. I hate stupid warnings, especially warnings that are there because of the lawyers, but if they help one personâŠ
Perhaps adding comments about âbutton batteriesâ as suggested by 1dash1, and the links that describe the symptoms.
Side note:
I recently purchased peanut butter cookies. They had a âWarning: May contain nuts.â statement. The word may bothered me. If not nuts then what?
I think weâre (actually you, Mr. Scott) are on the right track with this. Rare is the question of how to handle other technologies seen, but very often newbies and LiIon come into the picture so that makes this highly important.
Rather than âdilutingâ the OP, links to threads on the other technologies would accomplish a wider view without turning this one into a âTL,DRâ scenario. Remember the audience and their limited understanding, and donât overwhelm them with TMI. We want them to read and understand the ânecessariesâ here only- the deeper parts can come later with their (hopefully) advancing interests
I quoted the Islandic and French translations in my first reaction in this thread to have the text on the first page, read in another thread Google search displays only results from a topics first page so want to be sure the translations are easy to be found.
I have the German translation in my pm inbox, done by Hannoveraner, but it is better he posts his hard work himself.
Russian should be in the making
Arabic also.
Spanish is harder, the only Spanish BLFer I know is active is too busy, so if anyone know about a member who can do that please ask him/her for a translation if you agree this important text should become available in more languages. (The same goes for other not mentioned languages of course.)
