LOOKING FORWARD

Sierra Foothills Amateur Radio Club. Vice Presidents
Jim Jupin (WA8MPA) & Greg Dolkas (KO6TH)

• For the May meeting, Greg KO6TH will be discussing the art of charging LiFePO4 (LFP) based batteries.  It is, indeed, an art, something that we too often mistakenly try to turn into a trip to Ikea.  Tab A into Slot B it is not.  Separating Science from Marketing, this talk will reveal some of the fundamental realities of charging this particular breed of battery, which if followed should lead to long term success for both the battery and your well being.  Can you get away without knowing this?  Probably.  Many do.  But after understanding what’s going on, at least you’ll know what to expect.
