High Rate Application with Primary AA Cells
High Rate Application with Primary AA Cells
(OP)
I have an application that requires a high rate current up to 8A for 1 second numerous times. Most primary cells are not rated for that high pulse current. Is there a way to overcome that. Could I use a capacitor in parallel to provide that current?





RE: High Rate Application with Primary AA Cells
A typical AA cell can dump 10A in a short circuit. The main issue will be that its capacity will be substantially de-rated.
LiPO batteries designed for high discharge RC applications are readily available: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=lipo+20C&...
1 amp * 1 second = 1 coulomb time say 100 times and assume no more than 0.2 volt droop --> 500 farads
TTFN (ta ta for now)
I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKorP55Aqvg
