Hi, another simple battery question. Say you have something that requires 10 watt hours to charge, and you have a source providing a constant 50 watts. It would take .2 hours to charge, right? I feel like I'm missing a quantity here.
What if I was using say, 3 solar panels and wanted to charge one large (lithium ion) battery? What circuitry would I need there? Each panel may gather different voltages, and I'm assuming as with before, Li-Ion are finicky so I'd need to do something different?
Well, I'm trying to learn some circuit 101 here that applies to my project.
Basically, what type of voltage regulation and circuitry would I have to incorporate to charge not only 1 battery, but two. Both would be lithium ion but of different voltages.
I am by NO means an electrical engineering student, so please explain it to me like I'm 5.
My friend sent me a circuit diagram and I don't know how it works/what it means, but basically I want to know if it's possible to charge 2 batteries at once instead of 1, using the same mechanism. If so...
Thanks. Follow up question, all other factors aside, a 1000 mAh battery would last 1/2 has long as a 2000 mAh battery right? The device would still act the same way, not like voltage where it requires a certain amount, correct?
