Learn all key facts about Lithium Batteries in less than an hour

You can benefit from my highly compressed knowledge today. I built three custom electric cars with my own circuit boards. I wrote my own firmware, and then I drove thousands of miles in them. This took me from 2018 to 2023, my key insights are compiled here for you.

Lithium Batteries are the densest, affordable power source we have for electric transport. Everything that took me years to learn, you can now learn in minutes below.

Understanding key engineering concepts will pay off in the long run, so I am showing you general concepts, rather than product specific knowledge.

A Battery Management System is crucial for maintaining the safety, efficiency, and longevity of lithium-ion batteries. I've been building electric cars since 2018, and in this post, I’ll provide a high-level overview of battery balancing, and why it is important.

This is the EV battery knowledge base, there are also separate sections for power electronics and vehicle control.

Check the videos below for high level knowledge that is not tied to products about EV Batteries. Have fun learning.
