Especially that impedance thing would become a never ending story haunting both, forum and YT comments for eternity
I've noticed this on my previous battery videos (and I have a lot of them). I still get email from 5 year old videos.
i don't know what it is about batteries...
its not about batteries, its about Lipo/LiIon. From my RC hobby, I already had two Lipos on fire personally, one of them almost burning up my house (ehmmm, should I mention not to charge them unattended...). Teslas on fire, burning iPhones and other gear hurting people, Segways in flames, airplane's possibly going down. A known of mine is selling Lipos, and he told me that he had a brand new Kokam in his stock, never touched or charged it, and it just caught fire in the shelf. Probably manufacturing defect.
And let's not forget the timing of Daves most recent video just a couple days before the new Samsung galaxy Note getting recalled world wide being a hot (no pum intended) topic in the media now. Good timing Dave
The media spreads the news, and miss information for drama effect
about these recalls on devices people have in their homes and carry in their pockets. A lot of people that don't understand or even do electronics as a hobby.
Then questions come up like: if the phones are made with different manufactured batteries,then why recall them all.mWhy not only recall the ones with that one manufactured battery? Samsung said it was the battery, not the charging circuit. If it's just battery then the company should have a list of serial numbers affected and not have to recall every phone.
Or is Samsung and other companies not telling us the truth? Don't they care about the safety of the customers? What if this happens with all cell phones? Don't batteries get tested and certified for safety?
And then people start to worry and thing about all the devices in the home that has a Li-Ion battery in the house and panic and think the worst because the media makes it look like that, and it feeds fuel to the fire.
