    What are Amps, Volts and Watts?

    Let's imagine electricity like water in a garden hose. Here's how we can think about it: Amps (Amperes) are like the amount of water that flows through the hose. More water means more amps. Volts are like the pressure of the water in the hose. Higher pressure means the water can travel further and with more force. Ohms are like how narrow or wide the hose is. A narrow hose makes it harder for water to pass through, which is like having more resistance.

    Battery Care - Maintaining LiFePO4 Batteries For Extended Life

    LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) is a type of lithium-ion battery chemistry that is considered to be one of the safest options available. The main advantage of LiFePO4 over other lithium-ion chemistries is that it has a much lower risk of thermal runaway, which is a condition that can occur when a battery overheats and causes a chain reaction that can lead to a fire or explosion.
