Finally getting started on determining whether we need to marry our batteries in multi-battery mods and, if we do, how well matched they need to be. I've had my own thoughts about this for quite a while but it's time for proof.
Using three RX200 battery sleds (no circuit boards), a datalogger, and a ton of batteries, I'll be trying out different combinations of batteries, battery positions, different levels of charge, etc., to see if any battery ever drops far enough in voltage to become damaged or brought below zero volts (which is dangerous).
You might have noticed the white batteries. They're "specials", high capacity batteries rated at 5A-10A. These, along with the other 1500mAh-3000mAh 20A-30A batteries (new, used, and damaged) will give the marriage theory a good workout.
It's going to take a few weeks to complete this testing but I'll post when I can as it proceeds.
